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

I don’t think this handles the “grammar” of "belief" so well. One can understand that “the map is not the territory” and yet believe things.
In particular, one can be both a realist and a fallibilist. Examples: Popper, Lakatos.
That is, one can hold that 1) “maps” make actual claims about reality and (parts of some) maps may be worthy of belief, and ...
2) every map is fallible and should be continually tested for falsification.
Well… this quickly gets complicated and subtle, and twitter may not be up to the job. But… certainly one should have more confidence in some
“beliefs” than others (e.g. I’m wearing red jeans is pretty definite).
Falsificationism overlooks ontological nebulosity and focuses exclusively on epistemic fallibility, and that’s a mistake I think
Also, falsificationism is not an empirically accurate account of what scientists do; evidence does accumulate for as well as against
The piece of writing I’m mainly working on now concerns exactly these issues. It looks like it will be about 50 printed pages.
Awesome. Looking forward to it!
