I'm pretty sure I (or at least my thoughts) exist in some form. That's about it.

Well, I'm 100% sure that I'm male.
I'm 100% sure the earth is spherical.
I'm 100% sure that my room looks like a disaster.
and I'm 100% sure that the sky is blue.

.........What? You were expecting something else?


Have to point out...

Your room may look like a disaster to you, but would it necessarily look that way to another human? What about a dog?

Also, is the sky blue, or does the sky appear to be blue to YOU? The only reason it appears blue is because that's how our eyes perceive it. What if we were all color blind? Last, how do YOU, personally, know that the Earth is round? Have you seen it from space? Have you traveled in a straight line and ended up back where you started? Or have people and textbooks always said that it's round, so that's what you believe?

Note- I'm not saying these things AREN'T true, just that we should look at what we accept as truth differently...Look up "language as conspiracy"

Oh dear, don't make me write my review on Descartes' Meditations this early into summer.

One die, I will die. That is a fact.

One die, probably soon, my thieving government will take money from me and give it to the feckless and work-shy. This is called taxation. That will definitely happen.

I am sure that religion, is an inherently long, illogical, and overcomplicated way of saying, "I am scared of death".

I am also sure that this post will be quoted, probably by a zealot, shouting about my anti-Semitic comment.

EDIT: I should probably clarify; I don't mean religions are wrong, I just think thats why they were created.

Absolutely nothing.

There is literally nothing that we can be certain about. It makes me feel small and insignificant.

I'm very sure the cat next to me is real (though I sometimes have doubts about that). Cookie for the referance.
Is that from the 4[sup]th[/sup] Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book? My memory isn't quite perfect on it...

I used to be. But then I saw The Matrix...
But then I saw the third Matrix movie and I was sure again.

I am certain that there is no limit to human stupidity, and that the only way I can deal with the amount of stupid that I have to tolerate on a daily basis is through the sweet taste of alcohol.

I'm certain that the laws here in northern Virginia in regards to cars and the modifications thereof are draconian at best, and down-right illogical at worst.

I am certain that I would be much happier if I lived in a place that didn't have summer.

I am 100% sure that I exist. Everything else can be false, either by my own imagination or an illusion pulled over my vision.

Nope. There is nothing I can be sure about. Wait... Godamnit, I forgot about the "I think therefore I am". Okay, I am sure that I exist! But that is all.

I think the only certainty is mathematical science, since all of this could be an illusion, the very fabric of reality could be fake, none of this may be true. But there's one thing I'm sure of: 1 + 1 = 2.

The only thing I truly know, is that I can never truly know something.
And since I can never be sure, I might as well go with the second best.
