Frater luca says he understands why people chose to be basians when it comes to epistemology. But where does knowledge actually come from within a basian framework, and how does it deal with entirely new ideas i with no relation to any priors? Well, as i said before, you have to separate out two different things. One is bas's theorem. No one is allowed to disagree with it unless you disagree with basic facts about and logic.
Welcome to the March 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
