I distill this down to a pretty simple statement: truth/true is external to the mind while beliefs are internal to the mind. Is that a good bumper sticker type summary?
BTW, related to the last image, have you read The Flatlands? If not, you might find it has some insights for you thinking here.
Yeah, that’s essentially it. I also tried to emphasize the idea that we can’t 100% reliably know the truth because we can’t perceive truth directly, only indirectly through our senses and reason.
Also, and this perhaps the idea I was most trying to get across, we can’t know when out belief differs from the truth because our belief is the way we experience truth.

And regarding The Flatlands, do you mean this: https://www.amazon.com/Flatland-Romance-Dimensions-Edwin-Abbott/dp/B0875SRH84/
Yes, that book/monograph.
