I’d argue against absolute certainty in any knowledge. That isn’t a statement about reality, just our measure of it.

I can be absolutely certain of my perception and recollection of what my consciousness is experiencing and has experienced.

Note that the truth of this statement does not depend on any certainty about external reality, nor does it depend on certainty that what I perceive or remember is happening or actually happened.
