    Lotta potential positions you could take with regards to that system, y’know. cracks epistemological knuckles, what ya got? How do you decide how much weight to attribute to a fact you heard someone else tell you? Who? In what context? That stuff doesn’t, I believe, have a pithy answer

      We are in a post-trust world. We’re all probably better off just swimming out to sea.

        Shit I never responded. But I hard disagree
        See, if you can’t trust anyone, your ability
        To fabricate a plausible model of reality
        Is compromised.

        Nobody can interpret the world alone.

        No small group can.

        Too much is known.
