A blind man cannot form the concept of colour, someone who promotes idealism cuts off their own head, in order to state "look I have no head".
What demonstrable truths have been uncovered through any method, which do not require the acceptance of assumptions which would beg the question? I can't think of any. . . can you?
It is absolutely true that I am not omniscient for example.
