Epistemology should be taught in primary school.

I mean that unironically. Learning about simple principles like non-contradiction and logical fallacies can help inoculate against so much bullshit.

With AI distorting the internet in every capacity, virtually everyone needs a new norm for evaluating whether their knowledge can be justified.

When I was doing my undergrad in biology the amount of my classmates dismiss philosophy as "soft humanities" or just "word play" is disheartening. For my humanities component of my grades I took all philosophy classes and I had a great time. It's a great crossover when Philosophy of Biology was offered.

This meme is perfect, because that's cat's face is saying "I don't know what is happening or why, but I'm determined to see this through to its conclusion"
