What do you know to be certain?

Death for everyone is certain. The demise of the sun, our earth and our solar system, our galaxy and all the galaxies in the universe is certain. The decay of all matter into energy is certain. Entropy is the law of the universe. Get used to it.

It depends and it has to be seen from some or the other philosophical angle only. Why you are beating around the bush, without targeting your main aim, goal or objective in life. Nothing is certain, if you try to confuse my mind like this. I endorse your view that uncertainty is the only certainty. Let us both come to a common understanding. We should not inflict any injuries to our already existing smooth relations.

'Certainty' is a mental/emotional illness!

Thought is a moving, living, morphing thing!

A 'belief' or a 'certainty' or a 'fact' (ALL the same thing!) is a tint, hard dead thing to which some cling, needily! Desperately!

"New study of the brain shows that facts and beliefs are processed in exactly the same way."

The Certainty Bias: A Potentially Dangerous Mental Flaw

What I know for certain is that the basic construct today always was. Everything today has some reason.

This is why we have a justice system. Why? How come? Mankind ALWAYS did this. I know..therefore

that there IS a reason, not chance, not accident.

I know in my deepest being.

Seems like the only things I'm certain of are negative things

I am certain of the fact that I am alive, otherwise I wouldn't be answering right now.

even sometimes being uncertain is also uncertain. though you can claim its just that way. say if I'm certain the train comes at 11am but it comes 11:05; did that make me certain? possibly not but in my spirit i was 100% sure.

I know quite a number of things for certain.

This has been answered 100 years ago Descartes "I think therefore I am

the only certainty is morons
