More seriously, I do know, but I didnt put the word 'just' in there. Thats your addition in a pernicious attempt to belittle and undermine the statement - obviously in ignorance as you can know very little about (the specific content of) my knowledge.
You may rightly question the validity of the knowledge, not all things we know are correct, but your attempt here is a sad illustration of an ignorance which is not mine.
I know it like I know lots of other things, because it fits with not one but a series of observations and experiences, both personal subjective experiences in the experienced world and in contemplation, and group observations from a variety of fields of inquiry.
Yes I belittle it. You don't know this. You believe it. You believed it before you started to actually think about it and analyze it.
