If there are no sighted men, how could the blind men in the fable know that they were in fact sensing pieces of a unified reality, the elephant? I suspect this is the main interesting problem in ontology now. It is not in fact self-evident that the universe is a unified reality.

I do think there’s a single unified elephant reality, but it can only be assumed, not justified. Any set of partial views can be unified to show mutual consistency and consistency with the elephant postulate, but not prove elephantness of reality.
