Because he has real teachings. For honesty I credit Siddhartha as a great man and teacher.
Read my signature.
I see. Maybe only psychotherapy can show a way out of that obsession.
Try reading. Maybe you could actually make a pertinent comment rather than your normal procrustean strawman cliche.
See ... whether "self" or "truth" or "Siddhartha's teaching" ... it always boils down to you taking your subjective experience to be independent reality ...

Well,to those who know,reality is Subjective and always has been.
The trick is,Subjectivity is also Intersubjective.
If you understand Subjectivity and intersubjectivity being one you won't have a problem. Otherwise its uncertainty,skepticism and agnosticism all the way down.

What is the basis of the impression of "knowing [this or that]"?

The same for knowing anything.
Do you know you are called steRo on this forum or are you agnostic on that?
Nobody knows that but some do believe that based on thinking they're always there.
Thinking and knowing are many times the same thing.
"Many times" are not "all times", right? So when thinking is knowing and when thinking is not knowing according to your belief?

My name is Zenny,and I Know that.
That might be an expression of your thinking, fine.
On the fundamentals thinking and knowing are always one.
On other knowledge there are degrees of accuracy and the process of gauging and measuring.
That my user name is Zenny is an irrefutable fact.

If you claim suspension of judgement,that is still a judgement.
No, because suspension of judgement is suspension of judgement and is not suspension of judgement and is both and is neither.

I think that I am God and therefore I know that I am God.

On knowledge there is only belief.

Since your self isn't proved to be true there can't be an irrefutable fact in the context of your self.
And all my points still stand.
My username is still Zenny!
You see,this abstract logic and nagarjunan methodology leads to obvious Contradictions. You can't refute reality.
