Poetic Epistemology

(Belief System modifying JTB+G to JTB+C)


We believe without thought the sun rises.

However, we know the facts of how the sun burns.

Where facts and belief overlap is justified true belief.


We believe without thought we will have clean water to drink.

Nonetheless, we know that often water is fouled by mankind's greed.

Where foul and the clean overlap is a false belief.


We believe our bodies are functioning correctly.

Notwithstanding, we know sickness will strike us all.

Where health and sickness overlap is our tested belief.


We believe there is no end to the ticking of the clock.

Even so, we know our body's time on this earth is limited.

Where limitless and limited overlap is the birth of true knowledge.


We believe without thought that the infinite cosmos exists.

Regardless, we know our minds are finitely bound in our existence.

Where the infinite and finite overlap is our event horizon to enlightenment.


We believe without thought we are alive.

Nevertheless, we understand why we die.

Where life and death overlap is true knowledge converting to singularity.
