If knowledge is that which can be proved, I know nothing. In the final analysis I cannot even prove that I am who I think I am. There are enough popular movies around like Dark City, the Matrix, the Thirteenth Floor exploring the slippery notion of proof of your own identity for us to say "I might not even be a real person. How would I know? I've got no way of finding that out." And if my personal identity is not subject to proof, how would I ever know that my personal experience of logic is valid? Maybe 2 plus 2 don't equal 4. Maybe that's just a program that's been inserted into my logic circuits to make me believe they do.
