Is there something that you are completely certain about despite the fact that it’s empirically impossible for you to be so certain?

Generally, i am very quick to admit that i do not know what i cannot know. For the purposes of this post, i’m going to admit that i am fairly certain that the Earth is round while admitting that i don’t know that for absolutely certain. I am good at math, but i don’t understand the math that ancient people used to prove that the Earth is round millennia ago. I have never left the Earth. Yet i trust the many photographs of the Earth and other planets in our solar system. It’s possible that my best “argument” actually boils down to a single question. It would be fairly complicated and unbelievably expensive to orchestrate such a massive hoax, and i tend to “follow the money” when all other arguments fail. Who is getting rich from the “round Earth theory”? Ell oh ell!
To be clear, i am thus far immovable on the subject, but i have to admit that i cannot possibly know beyond the shadow of all doubt that the Earth is round. Therefore i would like to know, is there anything that you are absolutely certain of despite the fact that it is impossible for you know it for an absolute fact? If there is, please offer at least one example.

I went with “other” because i felt like responses could fit equally well under “religion and spirituality” as well as “education and career”.

Most missing people that are never found, are kidnapped by the government for scientific tests and subsequent disposal. We've done this shit before, its not out of possibility at all to just add a kidnapping first.

Is it really necessary though? Considering the sheer number of people who would willingly submit to experimentation for a pittance? Or even a single public claim repeated frequently? Millions of people rushed to get covid “vaccines” because Fauci ordered it. None of them questioned the fact that every previous vaccine was in development for DECADES before approved for public distribution.

There are certainly HVTs that too often die by “accident” and the authorities definitely rush through any investigation of “mysterious circumstances” and “coincidences”. I’m just not sure we have to kidnap people in order to subject them to experiments.

Issue is when its above board, there's usually conditions to ensure your survival and ethics board reviews beforehand. If you're kidnapped, then there's no such safeguards, nor do they need to be paid or kept alive.

I see your point, but there are waivers. They can get away with oopsing a few casualties under the rug even in legitimate scenarios. A lot of the really egregious stuff was learned from Nazi experiments. Nobody likes to talk about it, but modern science benefited a great deal from several years of ethics-free research.

That they have.

I just wonder if they are doing what I suspect, then what are they testing which requires thousands of victims per year. Biological weapons across races, age and gender?

The earth is round because when I worked for a big tech company we did a job for the Navy to outfit ships for the internet. We used a microwave array which worked fine until the shops left port and after 30 or 40 miles the signal would drop due to the curvature of the earth
