Read about Solomonoff Induction, Formal Epistemology and Bayesian epistemology, that'll provide good arguments against epistemological relativity

Ah lol well I did read about Kolmogorov Complexity on Less Wrong the first time, and I do know about Bayes because of Less Wrong, but it's related to AIXI (though that's kind of related to Less Wrong through Intelligence.org) and Berry's Paradox (which I learned about it through Wikipedia), and though I have read many Less Wrong articles, and I admire that community a lot, I do not consider myself part of that community, after all a lot of what I've read in less wrong, I already knew from reading Quine, and I should say too that they are a bit flawed in their approach to socialization, and that if you want to become better at reasoning, I think it would be more appropriate to read a book like "Thinking and Deciding" or "Rationality and the Reflective Mind", but you know Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is a great piece of fiction and I do recommend reading "Rationality from AI to Zombies"
