Oof. I’m gonna be thinking about this for a while. What a great question.https://twitter.com/Evolving_Ego/status/1485385291254747138 …

Interesting. I don’t know enough people who are interested in epistemology, clearly. Hey,
@NateMeyvis, is this is well-formed question, or does it just appear like one to a phil dummy (me)?
Yes, it is! With a rich tradition behind it. Some sources: (i) Pyrrhonian skeptics (really into avoiding false belief!) (ii) Socrates (iii) William James, _The Will to Believe_ (iv) lots of modern work from Bayesians, though I don't know this literature well. [1/N]

Also, one idea that was very important in the ancient world, and that I think is important now / a lot of people implicitly recognize, but that a lot of contemporary philosophy misses, is that we should aim not only at good beliefs but also good explanations. [3/N]
