Some informative reads about the opioid crisis. Some focus on how it started and spread, while others focus on understanding addiction. Good resources for anyone wanting more information.

Day 24 - #knowledge #gratitude30

A nice and fairly quick read and a good introduction to the study of epistemology. Nagel gives an overview of the main areas and theories in the field, provides concise examples to make them easier to understand, and avoids getting bogged down in technical terms or difficult language (as philosophers tend to). I‘d recommend it for anyone interested in philosophy in general, or looking for a first intro to epistemology.

“If Locke is right, then the proper answer to the question ‘Do you know where you were born?‘ is ‘no‘ (assuming that your beliefs on this matter are, like most people‘s, determined by what your family has told you, or what is written on your birth certificate). You could say that it is very probable you were born in a certain place, but not having retained first-hand experience of the location, you won‘t have knowledge of this fact.”
