Better ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—around problems of meaning and meaninglessness; self and society; ethics, purpose, and value.

I don't think that crony beliefs are mere pretense. Social incentives are often powerful enough to induce sincere adoption. @KevinSimler.
Yeeees… I think we don’t have a good ontology for belief-ish things that aren’t quite like “my car is blue”
Some beliefs are non-empirical. Some beliefs are false. Epistemology tries to define a category of "knowledge" that has stronger properties.
Yes-ish, again. I think it may be misleading to use the same word for things that function so differently.
But I don’t have a worked out alternative proposal. @KevinSimler ’s post points in the right direction I think!
yikes, that looks like a fascinating rabbit hole
I think you’d find a bunch of interesting stuff on that site
