the only knowledge which is absolute which no one can doubt is change, everything is always constantly changing; or in others words - moving - never standing still. Whether it is an action or a thought it is absolute.

Descartes thought so, thus the famous "Cogito ergo sum". Personally, I tend to side with the pragmatists in that absolutes are to be avoided and only positions that have solid support and evidence should be those we accept. Also, we must always seek to gain a better understanding, even if that means revising previously held assumptions.

Yes. The knowledge of self.

Absolutely not...because all knowledge is relative.

Everything we know is based on agreement, not on truth. We may call things truthful but that just means agreement, not truth in the true sense (no pun).

You'll never get out of here alive.

And actually, sometime during the middle ages some king or other monarch, can't remember the name, called together all the smart people in the kingdom to figure this out.
He ordered them to discover one statement that will always be true, and they came up with

" and this too shall pass"

Certainly. Try math, science, geography, reading, writing, and so on. Things taught are based on things learned. They are the building blocks of knowledge.

My suggestion to you is this: Quit smoking the weed.

I think you got too many negatives in there, somehow.....However, just try me... I think that I could express doubt about any proposition that you could throw at me. I mean, how do you know it is knowledge, anyway? How could you know what you don't know?
