What are your axioms?

Considering how much there is that I don't know, I'm not sure I can say I have any axioms. There's probably some core values, but nothing that's set in stone. I'm fairly open to good reasoning, and if I notice any faults in my views, I try to correct them. I can't come up with a thing I'm not ready to doubt to at least some extent, and that seems to be in a serious conflict with having axioms. As far as I'm concerned, having views set in stone is just bad unless they're logically sound, which almost no view probably is.

Somewhat paradoxically, I guess you could say my only axiom is that there should be no axioms.

There can be not justification without an axiom, though. If you are convinced by an argument, there has to be an axiom that is responds to better than your previous beliefs. As said, take any topic, and just imagine yourself a 3-year old that asks "but why" each time you justify your previous stance, until there's nothing left to justify with.
