Do we really know anything? (Read Desc.)

Because this video was so poorly done, here are my notes: Do we know anything? Well, the short answer is no—at least for a rational body. What is reason? Reason is—to put it simply—our personal ability to use logic to discover. We use reason to build foundational beliefs, to choose a course of action, and to abide in discernment. What is knowing? Knowing is simply having an objective understanding of the absolute truth some topic. Many people think that they know, but they really don't because they have not reasoned through it. Axioms do exist, fundamentally defining what we know. However, these only define what we know pertaining to a specific system. They are the building blocks of a system. Obviously with that we can know that we know, but we must remember that we do not know if what we what we know is not what we know; it is only what we think when our minds our bound to a specific system. So should we stop trying to know? No—rather—we try to understand. Understanding is valuable no matter if the thought we are attempting to understand is bogus or not. The point of a debate or conversation is not to win—well, it kind of is is—but it is to reach mutual understanding of eachother, by which we make our discernment. The winning comes from whether you are able to sway the hearts of men. But why is it that we don't know anything? Because we live in a world of our own design, our own systems are what apply to our thought. So whether we think we know that we're right or not, we should always listen to other opinions. And, yes, we may actually know some things, but we should not assume that we do. But when we assume that we know, we are blind to further consideration. Because we have no actual direct access to the framework of a truthful and telling reality, we cannot be 100% certain of anything we know. "All I know is that I know nothing."
