How Do We Know What We Know?

Everything I know comes from the observations I make. I analyze what I see around me and I draw conclusions based on the facts I find. This method can be applied to any aspect of my life, for example, I learn many thing from the people around me, whether it be at school or anywhere else, people tell me things, (like how teachers tell me things they want me to learn and how friends tell me things they want me to know), I digest what they say, contemplate it, judge it, and decide if its valuable enough to hold on to and store in my memory. This method can also be applied to reading a book or watching a movie, analyze the information being gathered, decide if it’s useful, and keep it or lose it. It’s a very scientific way to think about the world but its how I know what I know.
