The main thread is closed, so I can only reply to it here.

Given that Reality is ambiguous and knowledge (its acquisition) an ever
present, defining problem for living beings, when confronted with decisions
about a world state which, to simplify things, will be considered binary,
both rational and irrational beings are forced...

Your confused "some" with "all" (a logical fallacy) here.
Some beliefs can be vaguely called binary beliefs does not mean all
beliefs are binary. For example, if I know the procedure to make
computer, this knowledge is procedural, not binary; if I know the
structure of human heart, this knowledge is structural, not binary.
Please take this term out of your essay. It is confusing, inaccurate,
trivial, and squarely into the territory of logical fallacy.

You are also close to commit another logically fallacy -
imprecise definition of a term - by using the term "binary"
interchangeably to mean "rational or irrational of a belief,"
"true or false of a belief," etc. You seem to use it in whichever
way you like. Once you do that, the precision of thinking is gone.
Please remove this term from your essay and try again.

First try to give the term "binary belief" a precise definition to
see if it works in all applications. If it doesn't, give it up. If
you can only narrow its definition to specific types of belief, then it
is not as generic as you think it is .

In this case beliefs turn into Knowledge and the actual confronting of belief
against Reality takes the form of Method, be it trial and error or scientific or anything in > between.

It is well known that most knowledge are empirical in nature. In
other words, most knowledge have correspondence in reality. You spent a
lot of time reinterate this common sense for purpose I don't
understand.

Reason has the meaning of searching possibilities in a chaotic Reality, which
further guarantees the appearance of beliefs contrary to what from other points
of view (methods of inquiry) would be called `truth`.

True. Kind of like the "White Rose" movement that rose against
Hitler at a time when 99% of the German population supported and
believed him. It is kind of a "conscience" or "intuition" or
just independent spirit. Unfortunately it seems to be possessed by just
a few in any generation. Most just follow group thinks.

How many will `know` the box is too heavy and how many that the box can
actually be lifted? And this particular segment of Reality can be easily
corroborated...

This is what human intelligence is about - how to calculate
problems based on experience, knowledge, and brain power. The knowledge
of physics and precision of thinking capacity help in this case.
