Void Wrote:Knowledge necessitates belief, you cannot be said to know something that you do not believe - I cannot know that the sky is blue without believing that the sky is blue.
Correct.
Quote:Belief says nothing about knowledge, I can believe that the sky is green and it wouldn't be possible to know that the sky is green because it's not true.
Incorrect. Knowledge does not assert correctness.
Quote:Knowledge is at a minimum a true justified belief, though it requires something more than that which is hard to pin down - Most presentations of this unknown x fail possible intuitive counter-examples, it all turns into semantic wrangling when you get passed the basic outline of TJB + x and x remains ambiguous at best.
False. Truth is irrelevant to the process of knowing.
Hence, the purpose of scientific knowledge, which gives us our best(?) chance of having true knowledge.
Quote:That isn't true either. I deny that the FSM exists, it does not need to exist in order for me to deny it.
Everything is. That means everything exists. If you deny a thing exists, then you deny that everything exists. The FSM does infact exist. However, it is not 'real' (existing with force outside of the mind?).
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
