how do we get to knowing? logical deduction of experience? experience is individual. experience relies on information received from our senses so it is therefore flawed from the start.
what is reality but the accepted belief of truth?
is truth or reality important? - yes. lol. its important to believe in things we think we know.

Everything we know, everything we say is based on language. Language in itself is a metaphor. The only thing we can know for sure is math, and even that is subject to our minds metaphors. So, in that way, yes nothing we know is "truth", but it's the closest we can ever get. We have to change things into metaphors because its the only way our brain works.
Have you read Descarte's
Meditations? I think you'd get a lot out of it.
