I’m not interested in what the dictionary says or a textbook definition I’m interested in your personal distinction between the two ideas. How do you decide to put an idea in one category versus the other? I’m not interested in the abstract concepts like ‘objective truth’ I want to know how it works in real life for you.

    I have knowledge. People who disagree with me have beliefs. /s

    nah but for real its all the same, innit? it’s just a matter of how well supported you think your thoughts/beliefs/knowledges are. if i was drawing that kind of a distinction in my head, wouldn’t that mean that i’m thinking things are true that i simultaneously know are false? if i was gonna have ‘knowledge’ and ‘beliefs’ rattling in my head as separate things, that seems like me it’d smack of willful self-delusion.
