So, what's with these markers of [epistemic][Epistemology] states everywhere?
|
|
|
|
They signal my attitude towards the content. I wanted a way to show whether I
|
|
still believe something I have written or not. Or only partially, or never at
|
|
all[^fiction]. I didn't want to throw away old texts just because I changed my mind, but I
|
|
also couldn't let them sit around without an annotation or someone might think I
|
|
still endorsed them.
|
|
|
|
I'm not happy just going around like RAW, claiming I'm agnostic about
|
|
everything. And taking care to notice when you change your mind is very
|
|
valuable. Hence the markers.
|
|
|
|
[^fiction]: It's complicated in the case of fiction. Generally speaking, *some*
|
|
aspects of it I do believe. Sometimes it represents a marginalized aspect of
|
|
me. Some days I just don't want to care about making my reasoning clear; I
|
|
just want to *write* something. Regardless, don't base your world-view on
|
|
fiction, please. Fiction is treason.
