The limits of your exposure are now obvious to me... still, the problem is not necessarily *solely* with your *lack* of sufficient investigations or "breadth of research:" In fact, your developmental "circumstances,"are somewhat *commonplace* (like so many others). Thus, your problems with apprehension (despite my attempts to clarify) are not only* forgivable*, but *understandable*.
*However*, your overt *antagonism* displayed is *not*.>> I would *caution*you in attacking that with which you are obviously unfamiliar.>>> That which is not presently within your purview should not be summarily discarded - I humbly suggest that you seek full understanding, *then* (and *only* then) offer a critique that is *constructive* rather than dismissive. * In simplest terms, epistemology may be defined as "knowledge about knowledge" and therefore is, by its very nature, an investigation that is inherently meta-cognitive.* By that reason alone, any cosmological or cybernetic perspective offered can only *enhance* the dialogue rather than detract. You may want to check the holes in your own understanding before displaying this kind of knee-jerk behavior that your "one-liner" critiques now evidence; >From now on, reply to me with some thoughtful "original" language if you are *truly* seeking to raise your level of epistemological prowess: otherwise, don't bother... for the time being, you've lost any real credibility with me. >>> I tend to be forgiving of poor form, but yours smacks of both*inflated & deteriorated academic landscapes * - it may be time for some *thorough* self-analysis, 'Chazwin." (??????) Catch my drift???
