I have been taking a few time to think in depth how I have learned things and how I know them. Such as how do I know that concrete is hard?
What defines hard? Who defines what we see and know? How do we know things? Is what we know what society is based on? Is what we know your own belief?
How can we know that fact is thruth?

you didnt learn anything, you were born already knowing all of the things you know now. You simply must discover their applications in life, how the relate to each other/the "world".

Truth is never truth....it is purely subjective by interpretation and cognitive learning.
Remember not long ago people thought that the earth was flat. To them that was truth.
There are no facts, there is no truth there isn't anything concrete.
The only truth and fact is known by the Creator.
Each generation has their own truth. Even each person has their own truth. Their own way of seeing things. A wise person can stand outside of such fact/truth. Those are the ones who make great discoveries and not fallow the crowd just because.
Life is less disappointing if you learn to realize that there are no absolutes and that one moment you might think something or someone is concrete truth.....then we find out differently.
God is truth. God is absolute truth. Absolutel truthfully.

Humans are exceptional at detecting patterns. Once we understand "hardness" we kind of run with it. If every single time we encountered a substance and we had to rethink our entire concept of what "hard" was, we would never really get much done. So we kind of have shortcuts that are very useful.
Facts are "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional consent." according to Gould. I like that definition.

Truth is a form, and nothing is created without any forms, where these forms have infinte numbers of classifications, all are integrated into a massive system, with all the most powerful planning.
More you concentrate, more you find never ending depths. The best form of concentration is to find your own reality, so draw your intellect near to yourself, not to the stones.
A human is a micro universe, so beware of your powers, before death.

Try looking into Aristotle's "Metaphysics"....the problem of knowledge, however, is widely understood as one philosophies greatest questions. Therefore, there is much more regarding this subject than Aristotles postumates--but he is a very good place to start.

you are actually born to an era where everything is almost laid in front of us. We don't need to spend countless hours just find the checmical compound of a thing.
say, you learn with the things that you see and how they ARE PRESENTED TO US...
