02/12/2025 - 4:00 PMOccam's Razor leaves us with what appears to be the best theory of Knowledge, a Universal definition;
'Knowledge'; "that which is perceived!"
To Exist is to be perceived. To be perceived means to Exist.
Nothing exists that is not perceived, nothing is perceived that does not exist!
Thus, Existence is ALL-inclusive!
Reality is predicated upon Existence!
Thus, Reality is ALL-inclusive!
Truth, being predicated on Reality must, also, be ALL-inclusive!
Knowledge IS Truth!
Truth IS Knowledge!

How do you know enough to know you know?

02/12/2025 - 4:00 PMI'm having trouble trying to put this to words, this makes me think if everything is just perception (what is perception?) and an illusion, and if that we can only know what we know(what is knowing?). How would you even prove this? How do you know that you know what knows mean? what standard are we using? I think I know what this video is trying to communicate, although that would be a paradox right? All of this is very abstract.. knowledge is a paradox.. How will knowing what knowing is benefit me in anyway? Was this understandable?

02/12/2025 - 4:00 PMPostmodern BS. We have senses for the acquisition of knowledge and the ability to think critically. Some people will tell you it’s raining when they’re p!ssing on you.

02/12/2025 - 4:00 PMAlice can say that she knows but in fact she doesn't and only has the confidence to say what she believes in.
@dothatjustin
02/12/2025 - 4:00 PMBut what is false for one person and be truth for another? So no knowledge is no possible for us.

02/12/2025 - 4:00 PMKnowledge doesn't work without insight (insight is source to knowledge).
@lystic9392
02/12/2025 - 4:00 PMI would say:
The difference between belief and knowledge is that you are more certain if you know it than if you believe it unless it's a religious context.
And if you perceive yourself to be more certain, that will help you feel more confident about it.
But saying that you know something, and actually knowing something are two potentially different things.
It's like hearing it rain, and it raining, are two different things. The latter requiring it to actually be the case.

02/12/2025 - 4:00 PMI enjoy philosophy but I feel its concepts touch into realms which are not grounded in reality. They taint upon the spiritual going into psychology and cognition which deprives away from the majority of entering into the ifs and buts which are not always reasonable or logical but nonetheless possible. Does It leave more questions than answers?

02/12/2025 - 4:00 PMI wish to get a scholarship to do my Masters and Phd in Epistemology.

02/12/2025 - 4:00 PM(FACTS OVA FEELINGS). Knowledge is a Garden if it Isn't Cultivated it Can't bee Haversted

@4pharaoh
02/12/2025 - 4:00 PMI submit that “to know” is not an objective word but a subjective word.
I understand it to mean: to proclaim, or to define as true.
What we proclaim to know, may or may not be true (true = in accordance with nature)
Yet to proclaim as true is by definition is “to know.” True or not.
Thus “to know” is to assert personal dominance or dominion that your proclamation is true.
Bill may embrace a truth about (x) does not want to say. Fanny may embrace a falsehood about (x) with 100% confidence.
Just ask them: Fanny knows, Bill doesn’t.
Your opinion and mine of (x) does not affect Fanny’s or Bills knowledge of (x)
What’s the big deal: Fanny may have pulled falsehood out of her … Fanny.
Thus “knowing Good and Evil” means making up good and evil… get it now?
