What do you know?

How do we Know what we Know? What evidence do you have to support your claim?

We "know" what we know through 5 different ways.

1. We "know" what our parents tell us.
2. We know what we see.
3. We "know" what our teachers tell us.
4. We "know" (sometimes) what our friends tell us.
5. We "know" what we believe.

We take most of these things to be truths, even though we only have evidence for what we see. Our knowledge of history is nothing other than our believing what we are told. For all we truly know, all of history could be a lie. It's unlikely, but you never know.
