It is elementary that the development of a theory is based on completed and finished works or theories with a sufficient basis to be possible. But what were guys like Plato based on? He could only rely on what his mind told him. It must have been very difficult but at the same time, they were very brave in defending their ideas.

Theories don't have to be based on anything beyond a percieved understanding that there is a sufficient basis of plausibiliity. Particularly with metaphysical concepts (where there can be no obsservable evidence), I imagine survivorship bias plays a large part in ensuring the theories left after the passage of time appear to have sufficient justification, though I am not necessarily implying the direction of causality flows in only one direction here e.g. theories have staying power because they are good and or true theories, rather than than the converse - though obviously there are additional factors to consider e.g. politics or religion that could inform the reach or longevity of a theory.

Apologies for the run-on sentences.

I'm looking to convert my primary residence into an investment property and have lived there for 2 of the last 5 years. Are there any tax consequences? Will the FMV of the house now become the cost basis? Will I qualify for the 250k exemption and pay tax only on the difference of the FMV and the cost basis + 250k exemption? I also have a mortgage on the property - do I need to notify the bank and refinance the mortgage or leave as is?
Thank you very much in advance!
