ah ! Charvaka seems similar to Epicureanism — yet even more extreme in its rejection of inference.
I can see why there was such a strong backlash against them
I don’t think I could go to an extreme of atheism – where could my certainty come from? – yet agnosticism is very practical, allowing room for possibilities while also keeping the certainties smaller but more certain.
