I am no thorough-going skeptic, asserting that only a small amount of analytic propositions are true, and thus are knowledge, and that everything else is probable knowledge at best. The extreme skeptic would posit that humans can never possess any knowledge about anything is ever possible. All is subjective guessing, opinion, and unsubstantiated belief.
As a moderate epistemologist and moderate skeptic, I would suggest that humans possess a little certain knowledge and a lot of very probably so knowledged. The human intellect, using reason more than feeling, but utilizing both, can construe what is right or wrong, what is true or false, what is real or fantasy, and what is knowledge and what is mere opinion.
