[11:29:17] <FatPhil> oooh - just the person!
[11:32:50] <FatPhil> Spent the morning reading about the Gettier Problem, thanks to a post of yours.
[11:33:20] <FatPhil> I'm dissatisfied with the analyses in the wiki page.
[11:33:59] <FatPhil> if you are told the truth, but chose to believe an untruth, did you "know" the truth all along?
[11:34:30] <FatPhil> I reckon that "belief" is a red herring that complicates matters.
[11:38:24] <AzumaHazuki> the one problem here is that we don't know for certain we're all perceiving truth even if we're all in consensus on something.
[11:38:54] <AzumaHazuki> this could be as simple as "we may just have worked out the local rules for some simulation" all the way to as nuts as "hard solipsism is real and there is only one mind (mine)"
[11:39:24] <AzumaHazuki> this is why i say everyone, eventually, comes to pragmatism when epistemology is in question, just like how all moral systems reduce to consequentialism :D
[11:45:26] <FatPhil> in "JTB", can "B" hold independently of whether you accept "J->T"?

[11:46:18] <AzumaHazuki> i don't know what that means, unfortunately
[11:46:54] <FatPhil> The proposition that "Knowledge" = "Justified True Belief".
[11:47:17] <AzumaHazuki> Ah. That kind of begs the question in the same way the axioms of mathematics do
[11:47:21] <FatPhil> Which Gettier was riffing around, finding dlaws in.
[11:47:50] <FatPhil> Yeah, I'm trying to approach this from a mathematical perspective.
[11:48:12] <AzumaHazuki> mathematics itself is a set of axioms, a formal logic. remember the incompleteness theorem...
[11:48:35] <AzumaHazuki> even our own predicate logic we use every day may be a victim of this. a system of formal logic can't be proven consistent from within itself
[11:49:34] <FatPhil> incompleteness only talks about systems that are complex enough to be self-referential. This might not need that level of complexity.
[11:50:19] -!- isocelated has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[11:50:31] <AzumaHazuki> right, that's the counterargument i've heard
[11:51:57] <c0lo> So far, it has not been conclusively demonstrated that Piaget was not born in 1896
[11:52:32] <FatPhil> I'm just not sure whether the 'belief' bit is screwing up the definition, and thus making Gettier's apparent paradoxes constructable.
[11:52:46] <AzumaHazuki> me either @_@
[11:53:04] <AzumaHazuki> the big question for me is 1) how do we know what's true, and 2) how do we justify the belief?
[11:53:13] <AzumaHazuki> it seems like we need to know in order to justify
[11:54:30] <FatPhil> B can't be independent of J and T, because anyone who accepts J and accepts J->T, but does have belief that T is true is irrational.
[11:56:01] <FatPhil> And anyone who does not accept J, but believes T is irrational for other reasons.
[11:57:08] <FatPhil> If the Justification is the justification for the Belief, clearly they aren't independent. I suspect even the "J" part is flawed.
[11:57:16] <FatPhil> I hate philosophers!
[11:59:32] <FatPhil> As I posited right at the start, perhaps Knowledge can exist without the Belief. The fact that you reject the Justification doesn't mean you didn't know the Truth.

[12:00:19] <c0lo> Why do you need to know? As long as your "knowledge" generate predictions consistent with reality, you'll be fine.
[12:01:17] <AzumaHazuki> well that's the thing...are they consistent with reality? how would we know?

[12:01:42] <c0lo> Not contradicted by the reality is enough.
[12:01:51] <FatPhil> and are they consistent with reality because of underlying principles that make them that way, or just coincidence?
[12:01:59] <AzumaHazuki> we can approach consensus to be sure. repeated similar actions by different people produce similar outcomes in observably similar milieux. but...does that mean our--what Phil just asked, yeah

[12:03:35] <c0lo> One has to be extremely lucky the Moon and an apple don't follow the same law and it has been a just a coincidence all the time one tried.
[12:04:40] <AzumaHazuki> yes, but that doesn't tell us anything about the moon and an apple in relation to underlying reality. it just tells us both objects act similarly
[12:05:10] <AzumaHazuki> this has kept me up at nights. i think i'm a little loopy in part due to staring into the epistemological abyss waaaaaaay too hard for waaaaay too long @_@
[12:14:14] <c0lo> "it just tells us both objects act similarly" is enough to make predictions which put a man on the Moon. And good enough to put a man on an apple too.

[12:17:14] <c0lo> (bots are stupid. And that's the truth)
[12:17:26] <AzumaHazuki> well, yes, but that doesn't tell us anything about the underlying reality, necessarily
[12:17:43] <AzumaHazuki> the axioms of math all work nicely too, but they're a self-contained and self-referential set
[12:18:06] <c0lo> And I'm telling you it doesn't matter
[12:18:31] <c0lo> The "doesn't tell us anything about the underlying reality" part, I mean
[12:18:44] <AzumaHazuki> my pragmatic approach more or less boils down to "we humans find ourselves in a situation where testability and repeatability form a consensus reality and are constantly refining it, but it may not bear any relation to underlying reality. And that's okay."
[12:19:13] <AzumaHazuki> for who and what we are that's all we need. we literally can't access anything more. we're limited by what we are
[12:19:32] <c0lo> See? That's enough for you to live on.
[12:21:40] <AzumaHazuki> i've noticed the alt-right and others seem to take this to mean "reality is whatever we say it is and if enough of us say it loud enough with enough money/power/violence, we can shape it"
[12:21:48] <AzumaHazuki> this...is not what is being said. at all.
[12:23:50] <c0lo> The reality will smack them over their head. Just see that you're not on their path and you'll be fine.
[12:24:00] <AzumaHazuki> remember that "actor-based vs reality-based community" comment from the Dubya administration? that was seared into my brain
[12:24:34] <AzumaHazuki> i will never, ever, ever be able to forget that, and i always keep it front and center when dealing with their kind. THAT is what we are up against. It's an implicit God-complex, a blasphemous boast if there ever was one

[12:25:50] * Bytram gives up on reading scrollback
[12:26:20] <c0lo> The journey through hell there ^^^ it's how a human mind would try to adjust to other reality.
[12:26:55] <AzumaHazuki> odd
[12:26:58] <c0lo> (otherwise it's pulp scifi)
[12:27:41] <AzumaHazuki> c0lo, the thing is, the "actor-based community" people are actually partly right. think of it as a very very small-scale pragmatism: in the ways that matter to their short-term interests, they CAN actually write part of the script
[12:27:54] <AzumaHazuki> and heaven knows people with no money or power can't alter it
[12:28:37] <AzumaHazuki> it's not changing the underlying reality, which they insist it is; rather, it's manipulating what's already present. but the kind of person who'd think like that in the first place has a God complex
[12:29:13] <c0lo> The make-believe will work for sometime, maybe long enough if it's not existential - see cargo cults.
[12:30:06] <c0lo> The moment they have the stupidity to contradict the reality in matters of their existence, they are doomed.
[12:30:56] <c0lo> as we may well be as species if we indeed triggered a climate warming that we can't survive)
[12:31:16] <AzumaHazuki> but they can doom a hell of a lot of us first...including, as you just said, by fucking over the climate and resource base
[12:31:35] <AzumaHazuki> at that point, yes, they will learn. but i've no interest in becoming one of the triumphant deceased
[12:32:14] <c0lo> Zumi, put another thing in your pipe: life is not supposed to be fair
[12:32:41] <AzumaHazuki> i never said it was. there's no elementary particle of justice, for example
[12:33:56] <c0lo> So, you do the best you can. You may end better than them or you may end "triumphant deceased" or anything in between.
[12:34:30] <AzumaHazuki> right. i came to those conclusions a long time ago
[12:34:41] <AzumaHazuki> as things stand, that includes emigration if i can possibly pull it off
[12:35:45] <c0lo> Break a leg, Zumi, with the emigration. Is a valid possible solution, even if not a guaranteed one.
[12:36:37] <AzumaHazuki> there is a lot of thought to put into this. i'll have enough to go in without a job offer (actually i'm juuuust about at that threshold now!)
[12:37:06] <AzumaHazuki> i know where i will probably end up (Hamilton), where I'd like to end my days (Halifax), and have even been scoping out specific neighborhoods and rentals
[12:37:33] <AzumaHazuki> but there are many details i don't know yet. i know i need a police cert, health check, and to take an English proficiency exam
[12:47:48] <c0lo> I arrive in Australia with $3k in my pocket and English as the second language. You will be fine.
[12:48:23] <c0lo> s/rrive/rrived/
[12:48:23] <SedBot> <c0lo> I arrived in Australia with $3k in my pocket and English as the second language. You will be fine.
[12:48:57] <c0lo> After 4 years of immigration formalities.
[12:49:40] <AzumaHazuki> i doubt it...Canada is a lot stricter. I can meet the monetary requirements, and will be able to do so 2-3 times over by late 2022, but i likely will not have a job offer
[12:49:48] <AzumaHazuki> reading through the website is making my teeth grind.
[12:51:28] <c0lo> I can understand the apprehension. Still... you will be fine.
[12:51:40] <AzumaHazuki> hmm, looks like i'll be going back to NYC at least once for the police cert. i'll have to visit my old haunts
[12:51:46] <c0lo> Will talk about it in 2024.
[12:52:29] <c0lo> It'll take about a year to get adjusted anyway.
[12:52:39] <AzumaHazuki> 2022. the midterms are going to be when everything goes to Hell. i need to get out before November 2022 if at all possible
[12:53:36] <c0lo> Get there towards end of 2022, have the 2023 to get settled and adjusted, we'll chat about in 2024.
[12:54:48] <AzumaHazuki> i really hope this works. Halifax is achingly beautiful and feels weirdly nostalgic for some reason
[12:54:56] <AzumaHazuki> Hamilton is like Buffalo done right in Canada, IMO
[12:56:36] <c0lo> I suggest starting in a large city, more opportunities to get canadian work references. Once you get past that point, getting job closer to what you want/need will be easier.
