Clarifications and terms (so we do not talk past each other) Before continuing, I want to clarify a few terms that can easily be misunderstood. What “...
Post 7 of 7: Gettier, and why “seems justified” can mislead Gettier cases are designed to make the traditional JTB account look inadequate. The famili...
Post 6 of 7: Hinges and why justification has stopping points At some point justificatory questions come to an end, not because inquiry has failed, bu...
Post 5 of 7: Five routes of justification (non exhaustive) In the paper I lay out five primary routes by which beliefs commonly acquire justificatory ...
Post 4 of 7: Three guardrails that discipline justification If justification is a standing within a practice, it still needs discipline. Not every cha...
Yes, it makes sense for you to participate, and I think your pragmatic approach can fit naturally with mine, as long as we keep the different uses of ...
Post 3 of 7: What “Understanding” is doing in JTB+U In JTB+U, “Understanding” is not a new mental ingredient added on top of truth, belief, and justif...
Post 2 of 7: What I mean by “justification” When I use the word “justification,” I am not talking about something private, a feeling of confidence, or...
The spine of my paper will be covered in seven posts. 1. What JTB+U is claiming 2. What I mean by justification as practice grammar 3. What “Understan...
Post #1 What JTB+U is claiming My paper defends a practice-oriented refinement of the traditional JTB account. I call it JTB+U: “justified true belief...
This premise isn't true. The key is that you said necessarily. To counter a necessity claim, I do not need to show that all morality is objective, or ...
In other words, truth isn’t some hidden essence, it’s what happens when our justified beliefs line up with the facts of the world, or the way the worl...
In the framework I use, truth is not a metaphysical essence but a relation intrinsic to our practices of justification. To say a proposition is true i...
There are those who view AI as an epistemic tool, something that extends, rather than replaces human inquiry. There's a long list of people who fit th...
I won't comment on the political part of your post because I think we're very far apart. However, in the future I can see where humans will merge with...
If you take every idea with a grain of salt, you’ll never move beyond hesitation. Critical thinking isn’t about doubting everything, it’s about knowin...
It's already helped me expand my thinking on epistemology, and it gave me good ideas on my book. However, you do have to have prior knowledge because ...
Don't mistake the speculative misuse of ideas for the ideas themselves. AI is no longer in the realm of “mental masturbation,” it’s already reshaping ...
I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. I used AI extensively while writing my book on NDEs and my work on epistemology. It was helpful for editi...
I think we agree, unless I've misunderstood. Epistemology is about justification, truth of beliefs, i.e., when a belief counts as knowledge or as rati...
I started by feeding all the material from my thread on NDEs into an AI tool to help compile and organize it into a coherent outline. From there, I us...

I just finished my paper on epistemology which I'll post in here a section or two at a time. Post #1 Justified True Belief Plus Understanding: A Wittg...
That’s a fair point, and an important point. When I say that someone can parrot an explanation without getting it, I don’t mean that “getting” is a hi...
The following can't be overstated: We are entering an age in which the very conditions of knowing are being rewritten. Information now multiplies fast...
I'm currently writing a paper to make more explicit my view on the epistemology of JTB+U, and the following is a portion of that paper. The endurance ...
Let's add more depth: You are correct that understanding is already implicit in JTB. The classical model could never function without it, for to justi...
It’s true that understanding (U) has always been presupposed in talk about knowledge, but presupposition is not the same as articulation. Classical JT...

How Epistemology Can Help Align AI A Wittgensteinian JTB+U Framework for Responsible Intelligence Introduction: Fear Without Framework One of the grea...
One of the recurring problems in AI research is the ambiguity of “knowledge.” Systems can be designed to store facts, to process probabilities, or to ...
I think you’re right to warn against reifying “truth” into a thing with different guises. Wittgenstein’s reminder is well taken: meaning is use, and e...
I think we’re converging on a similar point. I would agree that “truth” does not wear a single face. Its criteria shift depending on the language-game...
Just to reiterate... Probability and the Varieties of Certainty One common source of confusion in epistemology is the place of probability. Some treat...
Probabilistic reasoning does not yield absolute certainty (sense 4: logical/moral necessity). It is not the kind of certainty we find in “2+2=4” or “m...
The following is a point of clarity. There are four uses of certainty that we need to be aware of, and they are the following: 1. Subjective certainty...
