How do you not?

Are you not rejecting that a flying pig in gonna fall in your head? Are you not gonna reject that butter is gonna tell you you're getting fat? Are you not gonna reject that the cookie jar is eating your toilet? Monsters under your bed?

Do you live under the assumption that any of these can be true, you just don't know it? You would go mental!

That is why the default state is to not believe these things until proven.

I would first have to know about those things to be able to reject them. I can't live under the assumption they're true if I don't even know about them.

But, you already do (that they are not true). You just don't realise it.

It's impossible for us to have knowledge on everything. You reject countless things you don't know about, because you don't know about them.

What you are talking about is you having awareness of that fact. That is simply not a requirement.

You don't believe countless things that even you are not aware of. The gaining of belief is the only thing that can change that state.
