+
+i titled this post using three recurring iconic quotes said by
+sergeant schultz in the comedy television series **hogan's heroes**
+which takes place in a wwii pow camp and that i highly recommend. but
+the first one on there is basically the only logical conclusion i can
+come up with when considering what the truth is and what it means to
+really *know* something. to say one knows something, the way it is
+generally understood, that person must be right. for example, a
+flat-earther might say s/he knows the earth is flat. but to those who
+do not think the earth is flat, the flat-earther doesn't actually know
+that because they are wrong. in other words, the flat-earther *thinks*
+they know the earth is flat but is simply wrong about knowing it.
+another example to illustrate the implications of "knowing" something
+being the truth: you remember putting setting your mobile phone down
+in the kitchen and are so sure of it that you "know" it's there. only
+it isn't when you go to retrieve it. you revise your thought from
+knowing it was there to *thinking that you knew* it was there. it
+wasn't knowledge, just an errant belief.
+
+to be able to truly know something (and i'm skipping a few steps
+here), you must be able to logically prove it's truth with absolutely
+no possibility of error. pure logic assumes nothing. the closest thing
+to pure logic that i am aware of is maths. mathematics is based on six
+assumptions, for example:
+
+` a + b = b + a`
+
+there is no mathematical proof for that statement. it's the basis for
+other proofs. if something cannot be proven, it cannot truly be known,
+because assuming something isn't the same as knowing something and
+every belief is based on varying degrees of assumptions. i do believe
+that it is likely that some things are more probable than others. the
+odds i'm hallucinating writing this or that i don't exist except in
+the sense that the only truly conscious being in existence (who
+presumably is reading this article) can attach a fake persona to the
+words and that persona is therefore me—are both low/improbable.
+
+> so… you're suggesting a paradox?
+
+actually, there is nothing paradoxical about what i've said. i don't
+know if any of this is true, but i do believe it is. and because i
+can't prove any of it without relying on assumption, i am willing to
+easily accept that i may very well be wrong. if i thought it was
+possible to know that nothing at all can be known, then i'd be
+proposing a paradox. instead, what i'm proposing is a belief. i
+imagine that when one believes this as well as accepts it, it is
+likely they will have a more open mind and hopefully be able to admit
+to others and oneself when mistakes are made. also, it's ok to change
+your mind about things. you do it all the time. don't think just
+because you stated something must be one way at one point you have to
+stick to that belief forever.
