  2. 0:30–0:37So, Gangesa shifted philosophy away from metaphysics, what exists, right over to epistemology,
  3. 0:37–0:40or exactly how we acquire valid knowledge.
  4. 0:40–0:45Rather than arguing over the data itself, he basically asked, why not just upgrade the
  5. 0:45–0:47mind's operating system?
  6. 0:47–0:53Second, since we're focusing on how we know things, Gangesa had to explain how we actually
  7. 0:53–0:55prove our thoughts are true.
  8. 0:55–1:00totally rejected the idea that knowledge is automatically true just by existing.
  9. 1:00–1:06Instead, he championed extrinsic validity, meaning truth must be proven through a successful action.
  10. 1:06–1:12Think about it. If you think you see water, you only prove that knowledge is true when you actually drink it, right?
  11. 1:12–1:17Finally, let's look at the nature of error. Since truth requires testing,
  12. 1:17–1:22how do we explain it when we're just dead wrong? Well, if you mistake a shiny shell for silver,
  13. 1:22–1:25Rivals' thinkers claimed your mind just passively forgot the difference,
  14. 1:25–1:27but Ganges argued no.
  15. 1:27–1:31Your mind is actively projecting a false attribute onto that shell.
  16. 1:31–1:35It isn't just passively forgetting, it's actively overlaying a false filter,

  18. 1:37–1:40Ultimately, Ganges said didn't just write a philosophical text,

Since truth requires testing, how do we explain it when we're just dead wrong? Well, if you mistake a shiny shell for silver, Rivals' thinkers claimed your mind just passively forgot the difference, but Ganges argued no. Your mind is actively projecting a false attribute onto that shell. It isn't just passively forgetting, it's actively overlaying a false filter, right onto reality. Ultimately, Ganges said didn't just write a philosophical text, he built a hyper-rigorous, bulletproof framework for the human mind that forces us to rigorously test exactly how we know what we claim to know.
