Sure. And what about the idea that you have ideas? This is what I mean by self-reference being inescapable... You are welcome to perform deduction in practice, but you have no absolute truths to start deducing with. Everything that you consider to be an "absolute truth" has been arrived at by induction.

Assuming your truths are reasoned then yes, but that is not the only way to have a truth. Second hand truths inherited from others can be instilled by an emotional relationship or claims of a spiritual experience from drug taking can generate psychological experiences that are sourced as more true than reason.
