^I like saying that phrase when someone says "I know (blah blah blah)."

What is 'knowing' something? What you think is true?

The truth could be facts. Facts change with time.

Only thing we can truly know for sure is math, methinks.


And logic. Although that's not mentioning certain mathematical paradoxes.

Math is very abstract, some parts are imaginary and something imaginary cannot be true.

Okay, the only thing we know for sure is death and taxes. The end.

I know that all actions that are here are not but electric blips and those blips are turned into something we can somewhat try to comprehend but all knowledge is relative there is no universal truth because we are empirical creatures and all rational thought is based on such experiences and if you where to take said knowledge...biology for example and chemistry and physics...we end up as an organism, an organ, a tissue, a cell, an organelle, a molecule, an atome , a particle, a blip...B)

Benjamin Franklin said that.
he said:
In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.

I know. I said that because it's true, do you disagree?
