We can separate out first-order, empirical knowledge, from second-order discursive knowledge. I can be a full epistemological skeptic re: the world around me, and know that I am a skeptic (I can also know lots of other things that relate either to my thoughts or to language in general: I can know dogs are mammals, for instance). So is universism stupid and cheesy? Yep. Does that make it incoherent? Nah. Check me if I’m wrong here, but doesn’t everyone who seeks answers already know he/she doesn’t know the answers?

And the person who uttered it probably did so with little understanding of the ridiculous nature of saying it...

However we try to seek the answers but first realizing that we don't know the answers. Check me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't everyone who seeks answers already know he/she doesn't know the answers?
