The Epistemology of Cheerios (Geffrey Davis)

Epistemology of Cheerios by Geffrey Davis

Epistemology is "the theory of knowledge; the investigation of what distinguishes justified belief from opinion". (from Google)

Thanks Geffrey for teaching me this word. Your poem gives a good example/definition too. I imagine new parenthood to be a path where you constantly have to make your way between justified belief and opinion. Babies grow; parents learn not to stress so much. Parenthood and childhood (life, in general) are all laboratories of epistemology.

I'd be more interested in hearing about why, after all that living, some people still haven't thought through their beliefs. Haven't determined between justibly held ones and blind opinion.

Favorite line: "and I let him / go for it"
