Yes, which is basically all the opinions weighted with the probability of them being true. I take it that you believe that you have found a way to pick one of them and now try to justify an item of faith?
Yes! For instance, if it turns out that we get better predictions by assuming that we don't live in a world with definite ground truth (like a David Lynch movie), and revelation through telepathic tree stumps works better, we may have to drop reason.

Alright, don't lose patience with me here because this may sound a little weird but in such a world would reason *necessarily* be antithetical to said revelation or could it act in service of it. I'm talking about your hypothetical world here.

You cannot reason when you cannot establish noncontradictory axioms, but if you are lucky you may be able to prove that your brain cannot compute on them, or that your universe does not have a computable nature.
