I am making the argument that we should think and reason, but never with the idea that we can truly know anything. Like for example, you know that the sky is blue. But if you woke up one day it was orange, you would have a number of options. More than likely, you would assume that there was either a physical change or something in your mind. You would not just simply say, I know the sky is blue, so it is still blue. You most certainly wouldn't say, "I am sad today, and that is why the sky is orange" You would be open to the fact that something you once knew to be true and knowledge is not knowledge anymore.

If I wake up and see an orange sky, I'd think "wow the sunrise looks beautiful". Tongue

I pretty much agree with you though

Haha, touche
