Yeah well I cheated on all my logic exams and I'm bad at reconstructing arguments. And I have no idea what the relationship between those two things are, because of the aforementioned cheating

Social constructivists distinguish between "this thing is true because people believe it" and "this thing is true because I specifically believe it" challenge (impossible)

The funniest thing is, unless you're a radical anti-realist, even moral and aesthetic truths are probably true no matter what you (specifically) believe, while, unless you're a radical pessimistic meta-induction skeptic, you should just think most scientific claims aren't truths at all!
