    No I'm not. I am not interested in academic study. I am interested in real world application. I am aware of justified true belief and that most people don't apply it. My curiosity is in how people acnually think about the concept.

    Your description makes belief sound like willful ignorance.

    It sounds like the real challenge is knowing when you have enough information to convert your educated guess into full-blown knowledge

    What about the ideas that can be neither confirmed nor denied like the existence of extraterrestrial life or a machine of 100% efficiency?

    What if you should have some doubt (belief) but due to ignorance or hubris do not and so you elevate a concept to 'knowledge' that should not rightfully be there? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm genuinely curious about that gray area of misplaced confidence.

    So, if we haven't studied the underlying axioms or foundation of a conclusion, we cannot have knowledge of it? That seems to imply the only things we have knowledge of are the things we have invested significant time and energy into. It's that correct?

  • I'm not interested in what the dictionary says or a textbook definition I'm interested in your personal distinction between the two ideas. How do you decide to put an idea in one category versus the other? I'm not interested in the abstract concepts like 'objective truth' I want to know how it works in real life for you.

    What if the claim were false?

    What if she wasn't from Pitcairn? No big deal other than her credibility comes into question.

    What if Gengis Kahn did not exist? Nothing lost, we already doubt our historical record.

    What if Jesus did not exist? Suddenly the largest religion's foundation is gone.

    What if God doesn't exist? Many people lose their reason for existing..

    That which has enormous impact should require proof of truthfulness.

    I said, this is BS – this is a public restaurant.

    What in the world is a public restaurant?

    Whose white in this conflict? Both groups are from the Mediterranean (most of the jews living in Israel do not come from Russia and Poland but from other Mediterranean countries). How can Israel be a colonialist when Palestine is an independent entity. Israel has no say in how Palestine is governed, Hamas was elected by the people. Not sure what definition of genocide you are using but the standard one does not fit. Israel is targeting Hamas. While they show a callous disregard for civilian deaths, if Hamas were not usiythu civilian population as human shields the death toll would be dramatically smaller.

  • Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.
