    Reminds me of that Korean Air flight audio where the second and third knew they were going to crash into the ground, but didn’t want to disrespect the first who was saying the instruments were incorrect.

    I like to imagine that’s just a REALLY good mountain goat. Like “pfft! No more ground? I’ll just climb up these water vapor crystals into the sky.”

    That picture is hanging in one of my philosophy professors office. She used this image as an introduction to epistemology.

    It is obvious to us that there is a mountain there but how are we coming to that conclusion exactly. I.e. What kind of logical assumptions and inferences are we making.

    And how can we priorities sources of knowledge. For example what if the instruments of the plane claim there was no mountain.
