Your assumption is that there is one general narrative that is true and correct, but the reality is more trial and error. Monotheism didn’t come to exert the power it has, because it is logical, but because it appealed to the most people and the most influential people, as it is a top down, rule oriented theory. Logically a spiritual absolute would be that essence of sentience, from which life rises, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which it fell, but no society could function, by simply reveling in sentience, so this top down father figure lawgiver became the default option. The problem is that as the theological aspect has receded, we’ve applied the presumption of the ideal as absolute to various other ideologies, such as Nazism, Communism, Capitalism, where the ideal, be it nationalism, the group, the individual, the abstraction of value, etc, became the signal extracted from the noise, without realizing the noise is the context for the signal.

We are goal oriented creatures, in a cyclical, reciprocal, feedback driven reality, so truth is not so much subjective, or objective, as it is a function of its context. Nodes and networks.

We fluctuate between the absolute, where everything cancels out and the infinite, where everything fades out.
