Why do you think I am showing you what "Epistemic Responsibility" means?

05:26

"Epistemic Responsibility" means?

1. That your belief will be spread and you should be careful about it.
2. That you should refrain from believing something without sufficient evidence.
3. That your personal belief should be based on evidence.
4. That beliefs can be harmful to others and yourself, if not based on sufficient evidence.

05:27

Do you agree with the philosophy that you have "Epistemic Responsibility"?

Yeah, I guess so

Uhmm, kind of... Like I would still believe in God(s), but will base other beliefs on evidence

Nope, I mean why can you decide what I believe...

This quote comes from the Stanford report
