That's fair, I wanted to give your replies more consideration, so I just replied to the aspects I had already thought through. I'll return in kind.

Not according to this novelty, If you ever prove that things are not subject to error you have to prove that something is subject error. Specifically,...

It's a bit of straw-man isn't it? If an individual told me something absurd I wouldn't confuse it with the subject of knowledge. We have an ideal conc...
September 09, 2018 at 18:47
If the only knowledge that can be had in practice is 'subjective knowledge' then what is the point of calling it subjective, beyond differentiating it...

My definition....
September 09, 2018 at 00:15
I get it, I just don't thinks its correct. It's the "later on..." part that bothers me because there's always a "later on..we find out..." about one t...

If I recall it wasn't simply a matter of knowledge being subject to time, but rather a case where JTB criteria was met but the matter still found to n...
September 08, 2018 at 18:02
Well, shouldn't JTB be able to meet it's own criteria? If you can't believe it, then it isn't knowledge right?
September 08, 2018 at 17:47
Well, that is excellent news. Tell me, do you believe JTB is the best description for knowledge in a non-general sense? I know you can justify it, but...
September 07, 2018 at 19:48
I'm not so much interested as how its used 'in language', but rather how it's used in reality. I know exactly zero people that actually consider an id...

Gladly, if you'll set out the difference between a belief of knowledge and knowledge.
September 04, 2018 at 22:02
Oh, I would say it was knowledge and had since been falsified. It doesn't make sense to have falsified knowledge. Knowledge intends to be true. I thou...

Did you mean to say this the way you said it?
September 03, 2018 at 21:39
Compelling.
September 03, 2018 at 21:05
It has to be arguable, but doesn't have to have been argued?
September 03, 2018 at 21:02
I'm accounting for the beliefs that have been conflated with truth. I acknowledge conflation is done in error, but because it persist it should be con...
September 03, 2018 at 20:46
Then why would we to define our products in such an ideal sense and still expect they correspond to the facts? If knowledge is always true, then how i...
September 03, 2018 at 20:06
It goes without saying I thought? It's absurd to claim one's beliefs change the truth the of the matter. I understand how it could be read that way, b...
September 03, 2018 at 20:00
Don't we? Every time I say something is true is just because I believe it is true. Otherwise, I'm not properly truthing.
September 03, 2018 at 19:35
I'm not really reading Janus quite the same way. If we count 1000 things as true, we'll probably discover some amount were actually not true at a poin...
September 03, 2018 at 19:24
that's got to be some type of record. Well played sir.
September 03, 2018 at 19:01
Really? I can understand "I guessed your name was John and it wasn't", but if you thought you knew then, you must have had some reason; then it makes ...
September 03, 2018 at 18:57
Because we cannot tell the difference between what we actually know and what we think we know until it's proven wrong.
September 03, 2018 at 17:34
It's always the case "that sometimes....."
September 03, 2018 at 17:32
I'm arguing that without the certainity of what is true or false apart from your "thinking" it's true or false we're left with a description of knowle...
September 03, 2018 at 17:26
Doesn't this beg the question against your position? I can suppose verification would show something hasn't been proven false, so in that light it wou...
September 03, 2018 at 17:08
Which I'm claiming is always going to be the case, so why not just acknowledge that some knowledge will eventually be proven wrong.
September 03, 2018 at 16:47
I think knowledge intends the success of being correct, but realistically it turns out to be rational conjecture that hasn't been proven wrong yet. So...
September 03, 2018 at 16:46
You have never known something and then later found out it was incorrect?
September 03, 2018 at 15:28
I agree , the theory of JTB is consistent within itself. However, I think I can maintain that it is always the case some of our ideas will be believed...
September 03, 2018 at 15:23
I greatly appreciate the charitable read and I agree. So long as JTB isn't meant to actually describe the real world and is only maintained for the pu...
September 03, 2018 at 14:59
Is some one arguing that verifying an idea makes the idea true? Wouldn't that be called truthing? I submit that truthing is not a word.

I really enjoy this argument, but often 'not free will' rests their case on an unreasonable definition. Specifically, they maintain any 'will' that is...
