Epistemological Multicontextualism

A philosophical framework holding that knowledge is shaped by multiple, irreducible contexts—personal, social, cultural, historical, disciplinary, practical—that interact to constitute what counts as knowledge. A claim's epistemic status depends on the context of the knower's training, the context of the community's standards, the context of the problem at hand, the context of available tools, the context of historical moment. Epistemological multicontextualism insists that no single context exhausts the conditions of knowledge and that understanding knowledge requires mapping how contexts interrelate. It demands that we resist the temptation to reduce knowledge to any single context (e.g., science) and instead embrace epistemic complexity.

Example: "Her epistemological multicontextualism meant she studied scientific knowledge not just through philosophy, but also through the history of institutions, the sociology of communities, the psychology of discovery, and the culture of practice—all of which shaped what counted as knowledge."

Epistemological Perspectivism

A philosophical framework holding that knowledge is always from a perspective—that what we know depends on our epistemic situation, our conceptual framework, our cultural background, our personal standpoint. Epistemological perspectivism rejects the idea of a view from nowhere, insisting that all knowledge is situated. A scientist knows the world through instruments and theories; a artist through intuition and craft; a historian through documents and interpretation. Perspectivism doesn't make knowledge subjective; it recognizes that each perspective reveals genuine aspects of reality and that objectivity is achieved from perspectives, not from nowhere. It demands that we be reflective about the perspectives that shape our knowing.

Example: "His epistemological perspectivism meant he could take seriously both scientific knowledge and indigenous knowledge—not as competing for the one truth, but as knowledge from different perspectives, each valid in its domain."

Epistemological Multiperspectivism

A philosophical framework holding that genuine understanding requires multiple, irreducible epistemic perspectives—that no single way of knowing captures the fullness of reality and that different ways of knowing are not merely competing for the one truth but are complementary. Epistemological multiperspectivism rejects the reduction of knowledge to any one form (e.g., scientific) and insists that experiential, traditional, artistic, and practical knowledge each reveal dimensions that others miss. This framework demands that we cultivate epistemic pluralism, recognizing that the richness of reality exceeds any single epistemic framework and that wisdom requires moving between ways of knowing.

Example: "Her epistemological multiperspectivism meant she drew on scientific data, indigenous knowledge, personal experience, and artistic expression in her research—not because she was undisciplined, but because each way of knowing revealed something the others couldn't access."

Epistism

Epistism, from episteme, the Greek word for "knowledge," would signify the personal responsibility and ethical obligation to seek accurate, well-rounded knowledge before forming opinions or making statements. It captures the duty to be informed by actively researching and questioning claims, especially when it comes to topics that affect others or carry societal weight.

An epistist would be someone who believes that every person has a moral obligation to pursue verified knowledge, especially when encountering potentially misleading or manipulative information. This (most importantly) includes being critical of sources like the GOP or DNC, as their narratives can often be biased or tailored to fit a specific agenda.

P1: "I heard that hormone blockers cause irreparable harm to your kids body, and almost every trans kid is doing it!"
P2: "... can you have some epistism? Instead of just repeating that, why don’t you actually look up the data and see if it’s true?"
P1: "But <PoliticianHere> said it!
P2: "So you DON'T want to do research?"
P1: "That's not what I-"
P2: "Then do some research."
P1: "Ok ok, fine."

*20-30 minutes later*

P1: "Hey, uh-"
P2: :"Well?"
P1: "Yeah, so maybe I was wrong. Sorry about saying that."
P2: "Well, now you don't have to sound like a complete moron."
P1: "Yeah."

exit liquidity farmer

ratwizard Enters a trade early, then promotes or shares the trade publicly (often on kick ) so that followers (copytraders) enter after them, pushing the price up.
Once the price increases due to this follower activity, the original trader sells (exits) their position into the buying pressure created by the copytraders — effectively using them as exit liquidity.

In short:

They profit while their followers often get stuck holding the bag.

It’s considered unethical and can be compared to a pump and dump in disguise.

That influencer turned out to be an exit liquidity farmer he hyped the coin right before dumping his entire bag on his followers
