Few mathematicians would have ever thought that until the 20th century. "Axioms" used to mean a self-evident or easily demonstrate truth. Now, because of the blunders modern math, "axioms" mean "any set of assumptions we take as a given and cannot prove."

There's no such thing as "self-evidence"

There are definitely self-evident truths.
"Every thing is exactly the way that it is, and it isn't however it isn't."
Self-evidently true.
Why is it self-evident?
If you understand the meaning of the words, you can understand it's universally true and literally cannot be false - i.e. to deny it would yield a logical contradiction.
