    @Dasamoolam8765 basically first you choose a criteria to use, then you work it out from there.

    E.g for factual info your criteria might be that it had to be decided by scientists based on scientific principles. Or you might choose to believe things that are obvious to you based on the information from your senses.

    For ethical /moral questions there are different criteria again eg

    • what an external authority (god, the law, your dad) says is right or wrong

    • what you feel in your gut is right or wrong

    • what you calculate will maximise happiness for the most people

    • what you think would be fair if everyone did it

    • what you think is natural

    Etc. Different people choose different criteria.
