So is that the difference between the beliefs in your statement about knowledge (that I quoted earlier)? So the first belief (“belief in something”) i...

So, if we go with the encyclopedia definition, we can go back to the first sentence that I quoted from your paper: If we rephrase the encyclopedia def...

I guess it should have been obvious. I've been thinking that a voting system could be handy namely for upvoting a post rather than downvoting. There h...

Wouldn't it be handier if you didn't have to post that thumb but instead you could just downvote the post? Or are you just demonstrating to frank, how...
