    The document discusses the author's views on epistemology and different domains of knowledge. For natural and social science, the author holds an evaluativist view that theories can be judged based on evidence, with more evidence leading to a more correct theory. For art the author views it as subjective, and for ethics and religion the author views them as relative based on cultural upbringing. The author also rates different ways of knowing - such as sense perception, reason, language and emotion - on their importance for different domains. For justifying claims, the author estimates relying more on evidence over authority for natural science, a mix of both for social science, and fully on authority for religion.

    Some learnings, comments, connections... I learned that I should be more active in the way I process things. I cant always settle for you can have it your way, and I can have it my way thinking. I have to evaluate every possibility and take a stand on what I feel.
