#epistemic — Public Fediverse posts

Patrick Ryseiw has revised his SEP-entry on Epistemic Contextualism,

Sattumalta lukeille osunut Bradley Dowdenin ikääntynyt IEP-entry Fallacies sai muistelemaan muita opastuksia argumentoinnin karikoiden väistelemiseen sosiaalisenkin median Juhannus-aallokoissa, https://iep.utm.edu/fallacy/

Wikipedian päivittyneempi lista "päättelyvirheistä" sisältää lyhyiden luonnehdintojen lisäksi linkit perusteellisempiin selostuksiin, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies

WayBack-masiina löytää edelleen myös Stephen Downesin mainion esityksen, jota hyödynsin omassa opetuksessani kolme vuosikymmentä sitten, https://web.archive.org/web/20110411024958/http:/onegoodmove.org/fallacy/toc.htm . Mukana oli jopa "listan" käyttöohje, jossa varoiteltiin nimikkeillä hutkimisesta, https://web.archive.org/web/20110514190427/http:/onegoodmove.org/fallacy/howto.htm

Tällaisten kertaaminen aina silloin tällöin voi auttaa purjehtimaan nykyajassa vastuullisena episteemisenä agenttina.

In SERRC Moti Mizrahi reiterates his argument that LLM's are bullshit-machines, not reliable epistemic sources worthy of epistemic respect,

Our article has finally been assigned to an official volume/issue in @Teaching in Higher Education (Vol. 30, Issue 4)! 🎉 Juuso Nieminen of Deakin University is the lead author!
This article asks how #AuthenticAssessment can empower #students as #knowledge #creators.
This Open Access article explores how authentic assessment can foster students’ #epistemic #agency—their ability to use, evaluate, and produce knowledge. Based on a qualitative case study of a digitally-mediated #archaeology course, the findings show students became (i) active learners, (ii) critical users of knowledge, and (iii) contributors to public archaeological knowledge.
Reframing assessment through an epistemological lens, our study highlights how authentic tasks can support academic growth and social good. 🔗 Read more: https://doi.org/10.1080/13562517.2024.2332252

Why not scientism?
Science is not the only form of knowledge but it is the best, being the most successful epistemic enterprise in history

@Koenfucius Here's SEP's take on the topic, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/self-deception/, and here IEP's entry on the ethics of it, https://iep.utm.edu/eth-self/

For me, self-deception remains an epistemic vice par excellence, no matter it's evolutionary origins or short-term psychological benefits.

Here, Paul Krugman argues that Elon Musk and his ilk lack #epistemic meta-competence (i.e., knowing when you don't know enough to make a good decision yourself, without seeking out help). #EpistemicCognition in the news!

New #paper 📢

#EricMensah and I published a paper that reveals #power #asymmetries, material & #epistemic #inequalities in the #global #environmentall #governance, with special attention to the #EU's roles.

The paper employs dependency and modernisation theories to problematise the EU's share in global #deforestation, evidenced by the existing datasets.

DEUP: Direct Epistemic Uncertainty Prediction

Salem Lahlou, Moksh Jain, Hadi Nekoei et al.

https://openreview.net/forum?id=eGLdVRvvfQ

#uncertainty #epistemic #unpredictability

The #technological disruption of our #info sphere has led to the #fragmentation of our #perception of #reality, and with it, a perpetual epistemic #crisis where people are increasingly #unable to tell what is #real and #true online.

Social media dynamics foster #outrage and #intergroup #conflict for #engagement.

#Conspiracy theories are in large part driven by #epistemic, #social and #existential motivations.

Now add an existential crisis like a #pandemic on top.

Perfect mix for #disaster.
