  • Reframing Claim About Knowledge 1.0

    Breadcrumbs: Philosophy/ItRaP/Epistemology/Knowledge Reframing Claim: Let’s consider Knowledge and Belief as mutually exclusive sets. The Traditional Structure In traditional western philosophy knowledge is usually considered to be true justified belief. It can be shown in the following Venn diagram.

  • DEVLOG 4: Trimming the Fat from the Kernel

    Since the last devlog, there’s been significant progress—not just in the structure of my philosophical system, but also in how I’ve begun applying it to my own life. It started with a core question: What does it mean to live a meaningful life? I found myself challenging the traditional pursuit of “success” and realized that…

Front Page The front page of the website is done, for now. The good thing about an iterative system is…

    Brief Background I’ve been dabbling in philosophy since 2000, but the genesis of this project of developing philosophy like a software lies in 2018 when I found myself in the deepest and darkest depression of my life. Like Descartes, I started by giving up on everything I believed and starting from absolute zero. But this…
