From a Steve Miller song, "Enter Maurice", which uses the words "sweet words of epismetology". It was probably a misheard version of "pizmotality", a word coined in 1954 by Vernon Green of the Medallions. "Pizmotality" meant words so secret they can only be revealed to a lover. See "pompatus".
"My dearest darling, come closer to Maurice so I can whisper sweet words of epismetology in your ear and speak to you of the pompatus (pompitous) of love" (from "Enter Maurice", by Steve Miller)

Through my exposure to street epistemology, it became evident to me that faith--as a foundation for sustaining religious belief--is unreliable.

Kant created a structure of truth (epistemology) out of aesthetic itself. This had wide-ranging ramifications for aesthetic, will, and ethics. This occurred even though Kant used the term "aesthetic" to refer to form which was technically incorrect (aesthetic is contrapositive to form).
Marx also created an epistemology but his epistemology cannot answer Kant's epistemology because Marx created a structure of truth from form (formalism).
