Makes sense though. I don’t do philosophy-speak well (never took a course in it) but I understand it. Self studied cogsci too and it makes sense from an entirely different context as well, not just within the narrow definitions of the type of philosophy they teach at schools.
Belief is required for us to consider something as fact. Certain and uncertainty are emotions. Amygdala pushes prefrontal cortex into “true/false/don’t know” as it were. Just brain circuitry. Reason is belief and belief is reason biologically or at least in the circuit.
True? Well… I won’t go there, but I’ll assume some type of externalist community-accepted that’s been afforded some authority by the larger community to determine True. Or a video camera that hasn’t been doctored. That might be easier.
Justified – well, depends on the justification. The human brain registers something as “significant” consciously 400ms after the event (N400 effect). It’s not a particular location in the brain; it’s “brain lag”. Processing time.
At that point, we come up with a very quick story about “What just happened” and we call it “Now” or “the present moment”. We’re always living in the future of the past we didn’t anticipate properly.
And Correctly.. hm. that would be a social decision of verification. “we agree your story is CORRECT”.
Mind you, I’m NOT using the terms in the proper way for philosophy. I’m abstracting it from its strictest meanings to see if it holds up and it makes sense from more than just one perspective.
