Now you've made the greatest discovery of all. One that took many philosophers their whole lives. You now know what Socrates said as: "The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing."
From this realization you are able to proceed however you wish. Most people assume certain axioms so that they may live, others fall into the abyss of silence. I would suggest it as a humbling liberation from the arrogance of the human mind.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
