Only so I can share this quote,

"I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything, and of many things I don't know anything about, but I don't have to know an answer I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose which is the way it really is as far as I can tell possibly. It doesn't frighten me."

I don't know ANYTHING for sure.

I may not like the things I like, know the things I think I know, hell, I may not even be human! I could actually be a sweet potato!

I think, therefore I'm a yam.

I don't need to pervert the meaning of 'truth' into a meaning that's impractical.

I do it anyway, though.

Math is the only perfect human invention/discovery.
Maths is just a language that describes truths of lesser importance.

I've noticed I'm the only one thus far to vote no. Not surprising. After learning a little bit of Epistemology I can't honestly said I'm 100% sure of anything - even existence. I'm fairly certain that somethinsg are in fact true and I'll will act accordingly but I can't definitely say that something is ABSOLUTELY true.

... Can I point out the sky isn't blue?
It's colourless, transparent. The only reason you see it as blue is because sunlight gets diffracted by the gases in the atmosphere.


OT: I know for a fact that I am always right my hair is curly.
Or maybe, this thing called colour doesn't exist. Everything's actually black, it's just that light reflects different wavelengths off the surface of objects that just makes things look coloured. EVERYTHING IS AN ILLUSION!

I'm 100% sure that Darwin was right, It's just a pity that we never let natural selection run it's course when we actually should..
We do let it, in a way, callous douchebags with insufferable personalities don't breed, generally. Actually, they do, dammit...

I am sure I will die... eventually
I am sure I am female.
I am sure my husband adores me.
I am sure my breasts will one day save the world.
I am sure I really am as awesome as I say I am... and that's pretty damn awesome.

100%?

That there is at least one absolute truth.

Everything else is less than 100%, even if only by a millionth of a percent.

Perception = reality?
Skip to 0:35

Christians, if God lives inside of you, does he only exist some of the time, like a light flashing on and off?

I'm sure that I'm not sure of anything. Which box do I tick off for that?
Everyone who says this is voiding the means by which they came to that conclusion by saying they can't even be sure of that. What a mess.

Vegetarians by choice are really stupid and impressionable.
All of them?

Everyone is impressionable and arguably stupid when compared to some high standard.

Vegetarians are stupid relative to whom?

I'm 100% percent sure that I have a PS3 but no Xbox. I'm also sure that humanity will be its own end. And I'm 110% sure that I like Dr Pepper.
P.S. Have you noticed there's no . after Dr in Dr Pepper?

-I was born.
-I will die.
-I love my family and my friends.
-There is some greater purpose to this life.
-No one will be able to be 100% sure about that greater purpose while in this life.
-Faith is the most potent element of human existence. What we choose to believe or disbelieve defines us personally and as a species more than any piece of scientific knowledge, logical fact, or heartfelt emotion.
