Still alive

Most of my online social time is on Twitter (@womzilla, of course; please let me know if you'd like me to follow you), and I'm perpetually a couple of weeks behind here, but I do read you and I hope to post a little more frequently in the coming months. Love y'all.

Noted for the future

Gettier problems.

A Gettier problem is any one of a category of thought experiments in contemporary epistemology that seem to repudiate a definition of knowledge as justified true belief (JTB). The category of problem owes its name to a three-page paper published in 1963, by Edmund Gettier, called "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?". In it, Gettier proposed two scenarios where the three criteria (justification, truth, and belief) seemed to be met, but where the majority of readers would not have felt that the result was knowledge due to the element of luck involved.
