I don't have any reservations about achieving absolutely correct knowledge. The inherent error was more of a red herring; which arguably worked. Yes, ...
Precisely, the error in this context is a known error. It is like you say incorporated into our knowledge along with the rest of the information. Beca...
Granted, if we were having a discussion on measurement there is a more nuanced position that would be appropriate. I was attempting to demonstrate tha...
Every measurement that has ever been taken since the beginning of measuring things has inherent error. If we can know things imperfectly, then it foll...
I don't think that's an accurate use of "might"; the number of times those ideas have not been falsified suggest they are unlikely to be an example of...
I acknowledge your example is linguistically coherent, but generally we talk about justifying from a deductive point of view. What you are describing ...
Technically, you end up with an infinite regress always trying to justify the thing that justified. While we're at it. Knowledge can exist in a book w...
Knowledge is the product of humans All human products are subject to human error Knowledge is subject to human error Anything subject to error contain...
I'd conjecture it's the result of a flawed assumption that foundationalism is a workable model for reality. If knowledge was actually built from the g...
Excellent assertion. But, the particular direction of the extremist lunatics has been influenced. I don't dispute they can and will do bizarre things ...
It's the answer to the variance in the groups. Mainstream reports of it in the news over the last couple days. The NY times did a pretty good document...
Any particular area you wanted to focus criticism on? I can do the collective - covert fascism- but people get label adverse. The overarching notion t...
Yeah, I wasn't thrilled about enduring the typical immune response from the second dose, but nothing happened. Same reason I dodged the flu shot for y...
You've got a bit of vaccine hesitancy, anti-vax just cause, and the wingnuts that think they are being microchipped. I'm initially sympathetic to a de...
Pretty sure this is one of the most misunderstood talking points regarding Kant. Kant wouldn't suggest you have a duty to honesty with a murderer. The...
You said executive orders; which is a thing. Yes, I agree the OP well outside of the boundaries of reality, but that's where many stand at the moment....
The link provided details the police powers reserved for the state and they include measures that restrict otherwise guaranteed rights. Which is why m...
Under this system you can know true things and mislabel false things as known. But, nothing mislabeled is known; only incorrectly claimed to be known....
No, it becomes a political issue when the idiot president pretends it doesn't exist cause it makes him look bad. What you are mentioning are called le...
Is an approximation knowledge? If its understood to not quite be true, but informative enough to be useful. Can't call it a belief, because it isn't b...
Well, we have a special situation where politicians tried to use a public health crisis as a political football. So, now we have a group whose politic...
I don't recall making this strawman argument, so I don't think I'll be defending it. Really, the Feds have only complained publicly, they aren't shutt...
Police power as defined by Chief Justice Marshall is certainly broad enough to counter the mass dissemination of false information during a pandemic. ...
The same document allows for it in cases of public health. If the censorship was effective I wouldn't keep hearing about censorship. Yet, it seems to ...
It's surely informative. If I bought a book from you titled knowledge I would anticipate anything I found in it to correspond to the facts, but if you...
The labor market aspect of the free market is still fairly broken in the US. Low wage people can't switch jobs without risking losing their job in the...
Feels like an answer you get in church. At the same time there's enough coherence to maintain it; I guess. Knowledge consists only of things I happen ...
It is uncontroversial in the context of pure data which this is not. This is a lame attempt at skating through a subtext of implications. It is pleasa...
It keeps the definition of knowledge consistent with the JTB model of knowledge. Which is an ideal, like a perfect circle, but useful in teaching and ...
The massive Russian disinformation campaign that has targeted the Right to manipulate the country has been more effective than the massive Russian dis...
In my car are a lot of fluids. One of them is necessary for the car to run. I suppose it doesn't mean anyone of them is more or less a fluid. I though...
A way to understand the qualification of "necessary" not creating a subcategory of "unnecessary". Or a way that creating the subcategory does not defi...
I think the two are incompatible. One either calls some truths necessary or denies a hierarchy of truth. I'm not sure about. I'd rather not detour fro...
Well, there lies my issue. You called a truth necessary and claim not to understand a hierarchy of truth. Things are modeled and labeled true or false...
I qualified certainty to mean a public matter so that; Doesn't reduce my position to a matter of personal tastes. So, if it's going to be dismissed, t...
Last bit first. We maintain that belief in an absolute truth, should one be discovered, can not be rationally questionable. I believe there are unknow...
