An interesting but narrowly based video. We do know firm truths other than mathematics. As Augustine and Descartes saw, we know we exist. I know if I have an experience, that something capable of causing that experience acted. I know that while i can think contradictions, they cannot be instantiated. I know that when my hypothesis is falsified the world is not the way I thought. I know in all instances of knowledge there is a knowing subject and a known object. Moderat realism is alive and well.
