Are you telling me that physical science is a JUSTIFIABLE belief?
Well, actually -- Do you read books? -- Yes:
Quote:Justified true belief is a definition of knowledge that is most frequently credited to Plato and his dialogues.[1] The concept of justified true belief states that in order to know that a given proposition is true, one must not only believe the relevant true proposition, but one must also have justification for doing so.the justification has to be such that were the justification false, the knowledge would be false.

So, you're saying that things improve?

That's a great template for a truly irrational belief. Knowledge changes as available data increases, as well it should. Historically, any belief assigned "immutably true" status has been shown to be a false belief in later years.

Very simply: anything that cannot be, by definition, disproven: does not qualify as knowledge; only as a belief.
This is the core of falsifiability, which is also the core of physical science, of which you are about to express profound misunderstanding of:

like physical science.
What, you want a reality built on a base of Duplo block maxims that never changes? How'd that work out for Kant?

That's not even a real Buddha quote. It's the difference between Zen mind, and beginners mind.

Yes, totally. I shall seek enlightenment from espousers of false wisdom, counterfeit quotes and dubious sources on the interwebs.
