   Is it possible for some things to be properly basic knowledge? Things we “just know?” Without being able to falsify or demonstrate how it is we know?

   Can “So you can know if your beliefs are true” be falsified? Gödel incompleteness already says we can’t know anything with certainty. Even math and logic rest on unprovable axioms.

   Seems unless we are omniscient we’ll just have to settle with “I believe.”

   I think that is more for scientific epistemology.

   Has more to do with the Character of the Inquirer. Falsifiability has to do with the person’s willingness to change their views IMO
