By many standards, four can be considered to be a lot.

    Everyone knows a fact. It is that they don't know all the facts. Some people are in denial about it though.

    This question was inspired by a segment on Jimmy Kimmel last night where they ask random people in the street if they know a fact. My answer would have been "the earth revolves around the sun", it is the first fact that comes to mind that I'm almost 100% sure is the general consensus. Honestly, put on the spot it would be hard to think of facts even though most of us know thousands of facts. The tricky part is a lot of "facts" I know, like "there are 8 furlongs in a mile", I wouldn't be confident of when put on the spot and some "facts" I know I'm probably mistaken about.

  • maybe our definition of fact is different but it would be pretty easy to answer imo. Like just state an observation about the world. "The sky is blue" "Your shirt is red" "Barack Obama is responsible for the deaths of massive quantities of innocent people." basic stuff like that.

    I've a nodding acquaintance with facts, but I'm very good friends with two or three fictions.
