Credo ut intelligam means โI believe, so that I may understand.โ
The risk management seems to check out:
A thing once believed can always be un-believed, so thereโs not much more risk in believing a thing compared to doubting it.
Yet, there is drastically more insight in believing a thing compared to doubting it. (If this isnโt self-evident, Iโll write a separate post exploring this in depth)
Is modern epistemology โ which extols skepticism (โI understand, so that I may decide whether to believeโ) โ completely upside-down? ๐
