Is Your Life Subject to Epistemic Rot?

In this way, epistemic rot can lurk deep within any world view. And of course, i'm not picking on science here. I mean, religious people make a shitton of assumptions, which oftentimes end up being false. Within politics, the definition of an assumption is, quote, a thing accepted as true without proof. So your life hinges on making high quality assumptions. See, proof is a luxury that you don't have because you're an ex essential bind to survive.
