I'm certain I don't know. I, of course, cannot be certain what you know, since I am a subjective consciousness. You could very well be omniscient. Are you omniscient?

agreed.

I can only assume this was a typo, as I claim CERTAINTY is not possible, outside of the certainty of being uncertain, since I am neither omniscient or objective.

"I can't make objective claims about reality." I have indeed just made a claim about reality. This claim however, is a subjective one.
This position is completely philosophically tenable to my subjective mind. Your subjective mind, however, does not agree. OBJECTIVELY, you have no right to claim whether it does or does not, unless again:

I'll call it whatever I want. And you have every right to use your subjective mind to disagree with me. Science and philosophy (in quotations) doesn't lend any credibility to anything unless your subjective mind believes that science and philosophy lends credibility to something.
I have no problem with you believing anything you want either. The difference here, is that I'm admitting that what I believe is "what I believe" whereas you are claiming that what you believe is "objective truth."
Your goal is to maintain what you have decided makes up the integrity of science and philosophy.
In the course of this thread, you have claimed dibs on: the word truth, "real philosophy", integrity of science, and credibility.
you're actually quite aggressive. To my subjective mind, of course.
