>We as humans seem to pick and choose which currently unverified things to believe and which to dismiss

As it was in the beginning and forever will be

It's physically impossible for humans to agree on an "objective truth" because human sense perception (at least with respect to differentiation of truth claims) is not uniform and the variety of human experience - despite variance being relatively small when measured (eg. normally distributed) - is dis-joint enough that insignificant variance in conceptions have historically led to wide scale clan focused war.

For example the theological difference between protestants and catholics is minute when plotted against all other theistic conceptions. Yet that difference is large enough (within those two groups) to drive violent, inter-generational, centuries long conflict.

It's actually pretty interesting when you start paying attention to how groups and subgroups work together or fight respectively in different contexts. I have three kids who will torture each other at home, but they clan up and protect their own or alternatively cooperate, when in social situations with other clans present.

This is an intractable and non-differentiable feature of human society and we want to assume that it's vestigial when in fact it's the core conceptual drive that creates society - for better or worse.
