good'erist

Better than good or good'er amongst piers.

Seth's hand in poker was good, Rick's was good'er but Ryan's was the good'erist of them all.

Epistemic Status 

Culture of origin: lesswrong-adjacent blogging communities

The epistemic status is a short disclaimer at the top of a post that explains how confident the author is in the contents of the post, how much reputation the author is willing to stake on it, what sorts of tests the thesis has passed.

It should give a reader a sense of how seriously they should take the post.

It had "Epistemic Status: Wild off-the-cuff speculation" so I didn't bother to read it. It seemed entertaining, just didn't have time.

He said "Epistemic Status: Would bet at 30:1 odds in favour of the thesis and I probably one of the top 100 theorists in the intersection of the relevant fields" but it still seemed completely insane to me. Heads better roll if/when it turns out to be wrong. Like, I mean it, he should lose all of his social capital. People should stop reading his blog and his eigenkarma should be reset (If he's somehow right though I will be very impressed)

Erisa 

This is a girl who has everything going for her. They are very rare not only because of the rare name but because of the combination of excellent personality and beautiful physical features. They have a clouded past that can cause some problems but they are strong women who don't let the past get in the way of what's going well for them in the present. They have a weird sense of humor but when you get to know them, it grows on you and brings out the weirdness in you in a good way and before you know it, you have fallen in love with Erisa and you never want to let her leave. Having a banging body sure doesn't hurt either as an Erisa always will. If you meet one, snatch her up and never let her go because she will love you with all her heart.

Yo bro, I met this girl Erisa. She is so fine and cracks me up all the time. She's a keeper.

Eris 

Originally set to be the tenth planet from the Sun, Eris's discovery in 2003 led to the ousting of Pluto. Eris (EE-ris) is named after the Greek Goddess of discord and strife, who started a dispute that led to the Trojan war because she was not invited to a wedding. Eris is now the 3rd dwarf planet from the Sun. Three times as far outside Pluto and slightly larger, Eris also has a moon, Dysnomia.

1. Eris was named 2003 UB313 until its classification.
2. Eris was named so because its discovery caused much strife and discord.

street epistemology 

A non-threatening, often public, discourse; designed to identify, explore and possibly modify deeply held personal beliefs through the use of the Socratic method.

Through my exposure to street epistemology, it became evident to me that faith--as a foundation for sustaining religious belief--is unreliable. How could divergently opposing religious systems expect to use faith as a method of conveying revealed Truth, yet come to mutually incompatible conclusions? Answer: they can not.
