My favorite quote from any philosopher ever has got to be from Davidson's afterthoughts on "A coherence theory of truth and knowledge", where he writes:

"After all, the only concept Plato succeeded in defining was mud (dirt and water)."

My genuine beliefs are such dog shit, most of you would simply label them as "ragebait."

External world skepticism: It is impossible to have any knowledge of the external world.

Other mind skepticism: It is impossible to have any knowledge of the psychological states of other people.

Tumblr post skepticism: It is impossible to have any knowledge of what another person's tumblr post is supposed to mean.
