First of all, lets start with the assertion "how do I know?"
It implies that your arguement is based on the concept
that knowledge is relative one opinion is as good as the next.
More over it asserts that your own experience and therfore
your own opinions are the only valid measure of the good
and the true, thus inquirey can only serve to justify those
opinions. It becomes an obstical in the act of critical self
reflection. When you dismiss any opinion that you disagree
with as "projection" what other alternatives are you left
with except the ego-centric drive to affirm your own
beliefs and point of view?

It's also ironic that you should be so transparently contradictory in a thread titled "critical thinking". Oh, it's so rich.
