Pic 1: We are sinful and as such we are epistemicly flawed
Pic 2: Because we are flawed and imperfect we must adopt the philosophy of Richard Rorty: "The truth is out there but we can't get it."
Although she hedges slightly with "every time."

Next "There is no universal basis for evaluating our environment."
This is her argument for that:
1. our perspectives are limited,
2. our communities suffer from generational and structural biases,
Therefore:
3. there is no universal basis for evaluating our

For one, the conclusion does not follow from the premises. She goes from different perspectives and people have bias directly to there is no foundation for the discovery of truth.
