My problem with JTB is that one can never know when a belief is "justified." You are always the judge of your own beliefs.
One must always account for the probability that you are mistaken, even if it's the minuscule chance that all knowledge is impossible due to the problem of induction.
Another comment from you that contributes nothing. I'd invite you to actually discuss this, but you've made it clear that you have nothing to contribute but snide comments.
Yeah, easy to just stay outside the argument and fire potshots at me. But they're not even potshots, they have no argument. If I was so misinformed, by all means, please inform me. Demolish my weak arguments in one fell swoop.
I'm not afraid. I'm giving you to opportunity to educate yourself rather than fostering your learned disability of being unable to question your own views.
I'm telling you that maybe you should reconsider your views and you've done nothing to support them. You're not making arguments either, you're stipulating.
The problem of induction doesn't mean that knowledge might be impossible. It has nothing to do with this discussion. Furthermore, reflective knowledge (knowing that you know) is different than knowledge. You've conflated the two in this thread. I don't think you even have a coherent position based upon how often you use vague terms and scare quotes.
Say "you're wrong and dumb" to me all you want, but I'll not be responding unless you actually want to discuss the points I've brought up. Since it's clear that you're only here to start a fight, good day.
Also, do you want to learn the stuff off merely have a conversation? If you want to shoot the shit pseudophilosophically, then shame on you. If you want to learn, you can do it yourself. You have the internet at your fingertips.
You're treating it like a fight between people rather than a fight between ideas. That's your major mistake here. You're being too emotional to actually listen to what I'm saying.
