Do you hold anything to be TRUE/ABSOLUTE [believe]?
Short answer: no.
Humans do things at best, in a probabilistic manner. (We only occupy distinct slices of time, of MANY SLICES, so we don't do ABSOLUTE/TOTAL actions)
Albeit, although we do things probabilistically, absent belief, attempting to believe/regard things as true/absolute likely induces that one select sub-optimal probabilities.

Pffft. What are you gonna tell me next? That scientifically true is still true? Gimme a break dude! The guy SAID that he holds nothing to be true. He only holds things SCIENTIFICALLY true and beliefs are ESPECIALLY without proof.
Next you'll be teling me that "especially" doesn't mean "always"!!!
I mean, the guy asked us to join a cult. Are you suggesting that he doesn't realize he's using the wrong words?
Silly suggestion indeed.
NOTE: Non-beliefism is empirically accurate. (You need only observe empirical data, whence such is not merely "say of mine")
