We can know with 100% that pain exists. Could we tell we are high or depressed if we cannot be sure of our comparisons with not-high or not-depressed? — Richard Goldstein
I am 100% certain that I am conscious — Truth Seeker
How would I know if others really exist? How would I know if others are really conscious or are actually philosophical zombies?
If souls exist, it is possible that souls reincarnate or resurrect after death of the body. I don't know if souls exist or not. — Truth Seeker
I have never witnessed souls either. I am an agnostic regarding the existence of Gods, souls, reincarnation, resurrection, karma, etc. — Truth Seeker
In that case I'd say I'm completely certain of many things. But importantly, I've been completely certain of beliefs which have turned up false. So I'd draw a distinction between certainty and knowing that my knowledge is true and infallible. — Moliere
