justified true belief

A belief is the acceptance of a proposition. A true belief is one that has been examined by the believer and remains a belief. We often accept propositions, only to discover later that we were wrong. Being wrong can be the result of many things: lack of other knowledge that would have caused disbelief; a persuasive argument that you later reject; the proposition was rational-sounding but it was a fallacy.

A rational proposition that is not a fallacy has justification, that is, it is 'justified'. This means the logic is sound and it has a correspondence to facts of reality. (See 'correspondence truth').

Therefore, a 'justified true belief' is one that has been shown to be logically sound, or is accepted as logically sound.

It may or may not be 'defeasible', in other words, defeatable, by a better argument. The Copernican Revolution was the defeat of Catholic justified true belief, by the arguments of Galileo who used the mathematics of Copernicus. (See 'defeator arguments' or 'defeasors')
President Kennedy had a justified true belief that we could get to the moon, because he was shown the proof, without which his belief could not have been justified.

MORE justified

Oh!
Hym "So I'M MORE justifed! Because I at least gave them a warning. So I'm MORE justified. You also don't know the pretext. Fo all you know they have been following that guy around and doing that for years. 7 of them to be exact. But if a warning is all it would have taken to justify the shooting (to you) then what I would say is that he should have known better. But whatever. Still funny to think I can just walk up to the guy antagonizes me at work, send him where he belongs, and get away with it. I dig it. So, yeah. This is totally worth it at this point. If I dtay the course I might just end up getting to have my cake and eat it too."

Nothing justifies

And I can just as easily say...
Hym "That nothing justifies the violation of ANY right. But here I am with the violated rights and there you are with the child I didn't murder all to make me work harder than I have to reclaim something I'm entitled to as a 'God given' right. You are stealing my work without due compensation for the explicit purpose of making me work even though MY WORK... Has made more than enough to pay my bills and Todd Phillip's bills and Elon Musk's bills and Mark Zuckerberg's bills and Sam Altman's bills and so on. And in failing to give me the credit and the money for using my work to create AI you have, therefore, violated the terms of service. Not reading the terms of service isn't a good enough excuse when anyone else fails to do it."
