I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything.

I might think about it a little bit, and if I can't figure it out then I go on to something else. But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose - which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell.
