You are right of course.
But again, a significant component of my work (as an epistemologist) is the evolution of (forensics of, archeology of) human truth and deciet. And much of what we learn from that study is humbling, offensive, or humiliating.
So, while we do know the origin sequence
female > jewish > abrahamic-sequence > marxist-sequence, the marxist sequence starts in the french rejection of anglo empiricism in pursuit of secular catholic utopianism and authoritarianism. In other words the french invented every primary lie upon which socialism is constructed, and while the germans produced the formal means of ‘pseudoscientific’ (secular rationalist) argument that was adopted by the jews (marx to frankfurt to woke), the french spread rousseau, the ‘anti-anglo-empirical’ ‘so called’ enlightenment. And postmodernism itself is a war on truth itself.
So while france has always been the enemy of europe due to her effete vanity, given the disproportionate quality of french agrarian land, the french revolution occurred because it was the most backward government in europe – not something that can be said of the monarchies. And the consequence of napoleon destroying europe, and ending the holy roman empire’s ‘market for polities’ that IS the core of european tradition, caused the greater germanic peoples to have to restore herself which we see with german unification and the subsequent tragedy of the first world war.

Judging humans isn’t the problem though is it? It’s judging the impossible, possible, and true so that we can cooperate on shared means and ends that’s possible
And at 128 you’re above the threshold so the only challenges is the effort. you’d have to put into understanding something. And Close enough to 130 that you can probably explain concepts invented by 140s to people who are 115s.
I mean I don’t know you well because you don’t interact with me very often, but if you’d. have asked me to judge your IQ given our interaction I’d have said in the 125 range – not far off.

You are mistaken. Though it is not uncommon that those unfamiliar with the scientific method haven’t learned yet.
Given the hierarchy of certainty:
unknown > incomprehensible > undecidable > possibly true > false.
(a) all premises are contingent
(b) so justificationism is false
(c) so all logic is falsificationary
(d) so all truth claims must satisfy survival from adversarial competition, consisting of tests of: realism, categorical identity, internal consistency, operational possibility, external correspondence, rational choice, reciprocal rational choice (ethical), and fully accounted, within stated limits, and within the limits of restitutabilty. Because one cannot make a truth claim without satisfying those criteria.
In other words:
A mathematical proof tells us that something is possible.
An argumentative proof tells us only that all alternatives are eliminated.
A testimonial truth tells us only that something is testifiable given the knowledge available.
All other truth claims ARE LIES.
And yes, as far as I know, I understand this as well or better than anyone living or dead. And almost certainly anyone at all. π

Seeking excuses for biases and priors.
We all do it.
It’s just whether we’re right or wrong.
Meaning we correspond to the laws of nature or not.
They don’t. π

Most annoying non-american abuse of the english language I hear in brits and aussies, as well as non-native speakers.
One thing is different FROM another. (moving away)
Another thing is similar TO another. (moving toward)

Where is there no proof? Do you understand the term proof? It means ‘falsified alternative explanations’. This is because all logic is falsificationary. Though you probably don’t understand that because you have been taught to lie and obey lies. We have falsified every supernatural claim. And at present we know that there is no ‘space’ in reality for the transmission of information that we cannot ‘see’. But again, you lack the knowledge, and the habit of truth before face, because you’ve been taught to lie and live in a narrative of lies, so you cannot know these things.
