Description

Epistemology is the academic playground where one chases the illusion of truth only to imprison oneself in an infinite loop of doubt. It also serves as a high-class excuse machine for inflating one’s own opinion. Professors speak of absolute certainty without crystal balls, and students line up endless quotations for their term papers. In the end, everyone shrugs and declares “it’s just my way of seeing the world” as a get-out-of-jail-free card.
