    Certainty is irrational.

    Are you certain of that? If so it is irrational. Are you not certain of that? That means you can’t assert it.

    Any attempt to claim that knowledge doesn’t exist or that reason isn’t rational is always doomed to failure.

        I don’t click random links. If you got an argument go ahead and make it. You shouldn’t need someone to do your thinking for you even if you believe knowledge is impossible.

          I don’t have the time or energy to explain the fundamentals of science to you. Karl Popper did so extensively already.

          Ultimately, your behavior and beliefs are your business. I was just trying to offer some insight from the perspective of someone who used to have the same beliefs and behavior. Like I said, I don’t particularly expect you to listen. I wouldn’t have.
