The axioms seem to hold though.

It's impossible for you to know that.

We only need to build upon foundations of solid axioms.

Says who? How do they justify that claim?

Axioms are pragmatic and therefore used a lot in math and science but when you enter the realm of metaphysics (e.g. Philosophy) you have to ground your worldview in a justified true belief.
