Originally posted by Lanny That would seem to rule out the possibility of having knowledge in the absence of others.

Perhaps we are all mad, and nothing can be truly known, after all what we know is just chemicals fondling squishy bits in our grey matter -

And you eat people. I'm not joking.
Where you are is fine, but get some scary personal armor, doesn't matter if your bulletproof plate is manageable in its weight. Throw some spikes on it, eat some guy, put his head on spike, or ideally a spike codpiece with a fresh skull on it.
Be good at bluffing, a d you'll lead the madmen -

Originally posted by Dargo Again. Why? You still haven't given a reason behind your claims. People having independence is nice and all, but why should I care someone else's fulfillment. Why not just use them for personal gain?
On a more immediate basis people may revolt against you and try to bring you to some semblance of judgement by peers, most of which hold the same belief. I guess if you have a way to test without external consequences and no worry of personal safety, the only thing stopping you is petty morality, and the possibility of being ignored by the scientific community. Just "wrong" is the best I have. The golden rule and all that -

Originally posted by Lanny Yeah, but what? Calling knowledge synonymous with true belief seems like a non-starter, to say a correct guess is the same thing as knowledge seems to bend to the point of breaking our sense of what knowledge means so there must be some quality held by knowledge that's absent in all true belief. If not justification then what?
Perhaps true knowledge only exists when it is verified freely through an uninterested third party?
True one can be corre t coincedentally, so just being right isn't enough, as you say. Does true knowledge be determined going into or out of the system, I wonder -

Originally posted by Lanny What's your interpretation of Gettier-cases?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding this but the gettier cases seem more logical than philosophical. If I had to venture a guess if say that our own justifications are hardly an acceptable major qualification for knowledge and ought be replaced with something else. Again, this is just a cursory overs
View, but it seems that what we BELIEVE may/frequently gets in the way of knowledge, having just explored getters two cases -

Originally posted by Lanny Most people support mandatory vaccination, treating the incompetent even if they don't consent, mandating medical procedures doesn't seem inherently reprehensible. I'm not saying let's hack off everyone's limbs and replace them with cyborg prosthetics but forced "human augmentation" is already commonplace in our society.
You raise some damn good points, especially considering I've benefited from a number of the things you've listed. But this a new field, testers should first be those in need for opt in, i doubt the forst guy to vaccinate a baby was just jamming that needle in, and hoping this works, he had data from prior tests, studies on how these things work, and certainly adult volunteers
Fucking phone typing. Fixed

Originally posted by Dargo Nothing too unusual about it. The Germans ran some fun medical tests back in the day. Even did it in the name of science for the greater good.
While this is true, the undue suffering and lsck of autonomy makes it abhorrent. I know we utilize ot, but there's always a better way
