There are things we know as basic, obvious facts. I wouldn't be the one to starve to death because I know basic, survival things. But then there are things which have a lot of debate about them such as the paranormal research or vaccines causing autism. These are the sorts of things I would have to remain undecided on since it requires me to do full research and I just have no interest in researching into all the studies and objections being addressed. So, I can trust humanity when they say certain things such as that I need to eat certain things to remain alive or I need to do this or that to keep myself alive and well. But I cannot trust humanity when they claim that the paranormal is bullshit or not or that vaccines cause autism or not. In essence, the only truth I know is the most basic things. I do not know whether there is more to life than feeling positive emotions or if positive emotions really are the only source of good value in our lives as hedonists claim. Neither do I know anything else.
