No you won't. If your idea of truth is real, then you'll die and dead people don't have knowledge, and if it is false, then you will be disproven anyway.

Empirical evidence indicates that theories conceived after smoking a huge bowl are typically incorrect.

Perhaps when someone dies they actually find the truth, wether they don't have knowledge or they do, to be able to ackowledge that.

You must be working with the wrong empirics.

Perhaps even death is an illusion as well.

If reality is what you make of it, then why did you make deformed, crippled babies real?

I know I didn't.

I heard that you could get to see the truth of reality, with a great deal of overdose, but it comes with a catch.

Existence. i.e. do you believe you exist? if yes, then you believe in truth. Otherwise you have contradiction. In fact you can't even navigate or think a thought or have even a single perception if truth doesn't exist (yes it is true there is something there, it is true there is not something there)

Pilate sucked at reasoning.

I don't believe I exist. I assume I exist. Y'know, just for the sake of argument...
