How do I know what I know?

I know how to read. I was taught by teachers and my family. From a very young age I was taught to sound out words and look them up if I didn't know the definition. Before I even got that far I was taught the sounds of the alphabet. I believe I  know how to read because many people have told me to read this way and because there isn't a misunderstanding between the author and I.

It is possible that I don't know anything including how to read. At some point somebody made this      alphabet we use, created the phonic sounds, and figured out how to put them together. I might not actually know how to read because reading is made up. Everything in the world is made up so how can anyone actually be sure of anything?
