I’m an Epistemic Scoundrel

[yetineti]

I lie to learn.

I tease to learn.

I hurt for joy.

I bend the rules to see.

I see if I can bend the rules.

I rationalize the irrational for depth.

I distort and conflate for scope.

I wonder. And I hate to understand.

I ignore experience.

I take for granted.

I am confused.

I confuse others.

I am an epistemic scoundrel.

The more I choose to be honest, the easier it is to cover a lie.

Honesty as a bias.

@mmKay

Leo coined the term on his blog.

It wasn’t a poem. It was a confession.

It took maybe 20 seconds to type.
