You might be better off if you reject the indoctrinations of your youth and proceed with things you can say about the world upon which you are on more solid ground.

I.e., pedantically-but-accurately, say more or less nothing about pretty much everything.
You may be (and remain) ignorant, but you won't be mistaken.

Even a person with the most limited imagination understands perfectly what I mean, unless you live in a 100% urban environment never seeing the sky or the wind on your face.
That may be so. But this is a philosophy forum, so one is expected (?) to wear one's 'Philosophy Hat'. And, wearing that particular Hat, we can say that there is very little "solid ground".
I think we can also observe that childhood "indoctrination" is called "education". It becomes indoctrination, or brainwashing, only when children are taught something with which
you do not agree. We do our best for our kids, and sometimes we get things wrong. But we try, and most of us benefit muchly from the upbringing we receive, and the education we receive while growing.
Philosophically, even "seeing the sky or the wind on your face" is not necessarily 'solid ground'. It depends on the context of the (philosophical) discussion.

But you know all this, and yet you still object, and post your '
Certaintist' theories as if they were factual...?
