This week I collected more names of philosophers' names into my "common- knowledge-bank". Thank you! This means I have an ever so slightly better chance at winning a set in Trivial Pursuit.
The way Russell explains the difference between "true belief" and knowledge is something I, however find interesting. I'm sure the church was not as happy about him sharing of these kinds of thoughts...
We apply true belief into our everyday lives, for instance through commercials and advertisement. A few years back I remember an old friend of mine lecturing her mom about her brushing her teeth too hard... " How on Earth would she ever have accessed knowledge to determine that?" I thought, until I realized she was just basically quoting a TV-commercial that was on air at the time.
She was convinced that she knew the drawbacks of brushing your teeth too hard but couldn't quite put her finger on why she "knew" that, and why she hadn't known that half a year before..
Everyone "knows" that "Vanish" is the perfect remedy for removing stains from fabric...
To yet everyone's surprise- no one can list ANY ingredient in the mix behind Vanish... which further states the critical need to NOT strangle the budget for natural science in schools...
