      take it as a possibility and feel free to exhaustively search the space of alternatives and see where they get you, while never forgetting the way back, so you can apply the rule to itself, which of course you must

      No necessity to accept what cannot be founded. Nietzsche from the same starting point gave up on truth and reason. That is where your position tends and there is no coming back from that.

      Like almost all western thought, Nietzsche's starting point was the need to disprove God, not the recognition that the claim had no support and was thus meaningless. He did not eliminate his need for what could not exist, fell victim to nihilism and became a romantic poet.

      Nietzsche would recognize that your own position is nihilistic. You want to believe in knowledge and you want to believe in facts but all you can manage is one opinion among many.

      Yes, which is basically all the opinions weighted with the probability of them being true. I take it that you believe that you have found a way to pick one of them and now try to justify an item of faith?

      I'm simply saying: "you can't get there from here." I'm not justifying faith here. I'm pointing out the difficulty of legislating a set of rational rules that you can then build your world on.

      Could you please provide some evidential support for your argument so we can evaluate the probability that you are right? :)

      I haven't made any argument. I am challenging your three absolute propositions to see if you have an epistemic right to them. I think you are taking a pragmatic position, am I right?

      Without an argument, you don't have a case, I think. And I cannot take a pragmatic position, without having derived it (personal issue, but seems philosophically consistent too)

      I'm interested in where people get their epistemology more than in what particular epistemology they choose. This has been an interest of mine for a long time.

      Personally, I probably have a brain that is naturally disinclined to obeyance (even toward myself). I also grew up in an atheist world but with inconsistent teleological metaphysics (East Germany), so I saw myself forced to reject external epistemological offerings.

          Yes, I agree. I think environment does play a role in making us psychologically more or less inclined to a particular position. But I think the tweet that accompanied this one indicates that you are also working out a rational argument in defense of reason. Is this correct?

          I am not a priori committed to reason, I just have a model of the space of results of picking the alternatives.
