A common fallacy is that if you and I are smart then we will agree. Conflicts of interest and personal value systems and world views provide easy inlets for various counter points.

    Well it isn’t a fallacy because if you reason without presuppositions you do uncover the absolute truth

      This cannot be accomplished, and the conclusion that such a feat leads to absolute truth is philosophically untenable.

We would also lose everything that makes us human and will find no satisfaction in knowing.
