As a post-doctoral psychologist let me assure you (comfortable or not) every person's reality is a construction and is individually different and unique, shared by no other person, past, present and future. As a result, I am a confirmed epistemplpgist - How do I know what I know? How do I know what is true? I filter my own perceptions; I challenge what experts and authorities say and write; I weigh the arguments of all sides of belief and conviction. I trust my own perceptions and judgments but certainly not 100%.
Thank you for the professional pov. I’ve been challenged in the last few years with a growing trend of worldviews I find hard not only to believe but accept that anyone could believe…and buy into. Makes me confused, mad, and sad.
Spelling and typing is overrated. I knew what you were trying to say. Success! Also, I don’t exactly get all the words right either. So much for all those English classes. I blame my brain and my thumbs. They know better but pretend to be dumb. :-p
Comfortable words, Clint, which I have been living ever since the stunning analysis of our society earlier this month. Of course, the fascists will eventually come after the art. (You probably did not want to read that.)
Oh, I'm well aware. I've read my history. Ain't nothing original--so far--in their playbook. Basic bitches in my book. One and all. The fascists and their flock of willful idiots.

Why can I not type? Is it my age? epistemologist. Epistemology = the theory of knowledge, the philosophical consideration of truth and how we know it.
