I think so. Are you familiar with epistemology and how assumptions can be formally justified?


Are you familiar with fallibilism? Aristotle justified geocentrism too. Who's to say your justification is correct for real this time?


Fallibilism seems to smuggle a claim of certainty about how we can't be certain about anything, which leads to a performative contradiction when brought up in an argument where people are trying to arrive at certainty.
