Agnostic.
Quote:So I'm either/both an agnostic dead-ist
An agnostic deadist would believe (without knowing) that the cat is dead.
Quote:or an agnostic alive-ist,
An agnostic aliveist would believe (without knowing) that the cat is alive.
So you are neither an aliveist nor a deadist. You are an a-aliveist and an a-deadist.
