If more people read articles by doctors who treat #LongCOVID patients, more people would mask.

But no matter how many times those in the Long COVID community have tried to warn others - over nearly half a decade - they continue to ignore us. And don't know what they don't know.

seductive appeal of ontological frameworks lies in their promise of certainty. They offer false comfort of believing we can transcend our limitations as observers & access reality directly. this promise is precisely what makes them epistemologically arrogant

We mistake position for choice. Aspiration is universal, but freedom isn’t. Moral luck and structural constraints shape where many end up. A brief fable by Shon Mehta on aspiration and constraint.

~Meta-Solution~

Stop pretending we're in control.
We're inside a system with dynamics we barely understand.

Models are partial, signals delayed, feedback distorted.

So: model constantly, adapt continuously, and
stay humble.

Perhaps many people in arts/humanities have enough #EpistemicHumility to know that they don't know what they don't know.

And so we read. Listen. Question. Find out. Err on the side of caution.

John Nosta’s “I don’t know” meets a longer pattern.

Every new tool raised the same fear. The real question is whether humans still verify, steer, and take responsibility.

New data shows AI can cut “I don’t know” from 44% to 3%.

We do not see minds.
We only infer them.

Jace’s Question #15: The Limits of Knowing

Confidence is not knowledge.
True competence begins with humility.
Understanding begins where certainty ends.

6/10: The paper advocates for epistemic humility, recognizing the limits of scientific models while leveraging their heuristic power. This approach views physics as a practice engaging with the non-representable. #ScienceStudies #EpistemicHumility

Why does watching someone genuinely change their mind feel unsettling—and refreshing at the same time?

It seems to me that describing a health condition as “controversial” can inadvertently undermine patients and shut down inquiry.

Referring to it as “emerging” seems more constructive, as it acknowledges uncertainty while remaining open to a growing evidence base.
