How can I know anything?

For my philosophy research presentation, as part of my Doctorate, I was allocated the question; ‘How Can I Know Anything?’

With this question being posed I decided to focus on people who believe in conspiracy theories.
The research that has come out this far, has been fascinating. It has given me such a deeper understanding of what it is to hold onto beliefs that may isolate us from others. I wanted to raise the importance of meeting difference of views with an attempt to understand first. Ostracization can only perpetuate the 'Othering' of individuals and these views become more ingrained and tend to enlarge, with further individual and societal consequences. Its worth remembering that we all skew how we view the world to fit the narratives we have about ourselves and our experiences.
