And, of course, you have no idea whether or not they are
really true or even whether or not they can be reasonably
deduced in a valid manner.


I know that they are true and rational. You mean you don't know
anything and have to look up everything?


No, I mean that I know where my ideas come from and how to tell
whether or not they are logically valid *and* I know what experiences
led me to my conclusions. If you don't, then you are flying blind or
you accept what authorities (most likely your parents and teachers)
told you on faith.
