Think.

What to believe personally?

[this text is currently work in progress…]

  • I would like to know the best knowledge possible
  • I can follow an Epistemological model
  • But I am lazy and doing this is hard work, unnatural, like sticking to a low calorie diet
  • Example questions I would like to know the answer to: Is animal fat bad for my health? Does not eating meat make a difference in carbon emissions?
  • the process is hard: I have to find sources for information, classify them, connect them and evaluate how they fit together within my chosen model (Empiricism, Falibilism?)
  • No one really knows the correct answer as no one really reconciliates all the information in a systematic way and compares it with competing options to find the best result - no one can help you.
  • Once decided on the current best answer, no one tries to disprove, or tests are too hard or out of reach.
