I do philosophy as school and the annoying thing about learning about knowledge and it’s different types was the constant battle between rationalism and scepticism.
It sent a lot of people into a state of hyperbolic doubt while in the class. Both A-priori and A-posteriori knowledge were constantly disproven and then brought back again. Especially when talking about Descartes.

This shit isn't even philosophy. Fking BS. Just biological and psychological and common sense questions. What a waste people investing in this

Everyone has their own reality, regardless of the truth. What we have in common with one another could also be considered truths 🙂

It's not "octopuses," it's "octopodes"!

I Think we can have reasonable belief at least, that Adam and Eve learnt they could act in contrary to gods will, and that that was evil, they learnt that they could will to do evil.

I wouldn't say the poker example is valid. The fact that you're playing against many people that are bad at it makes it an abnormal circumstance. On average of playing a game of poker with many different opponents that want to play poker, you will get people that know how to play poker, not people that are terrible at it.

Can't I have knowledge-how without, say, the physical ability to accomplish the thing under normal circumstances? I feel like I have knowledge-how to dunk a basketball…but I guess maybe I don't…

Philosophy rabbit hole;
For something to be considered knowledge, i have to have the belief that it is true.
I have to have justification for my belief.
I have to have evidence for my justification.
My evidence has to be tangible and quantifiable.
I have to rely on my senses or experiences to have evidence to quantify it, or experience it.
My senses, or previous experiences have to not deceive me.
My senses will deceive me at one time or another via hallucination of misattribution.
I cannot rely on my senses 100% of the time.
I have nothing else to rely on.
There is potential for nothing to be real, provided my senses deceive me at all time – I would be none the wiser.
My 'reality' may be different to others.
If it's a construction of my brain fed information by my faulty senses is it even considered 'reality'?
What is real?
If nothing is 'real' or tangible because of my senses, then I can at least rely on my brain as a source of consistency since it's what's 'constructing' everything I can trust that my thoughts are 'real'.
What if my thoughts are fabricated by another?
Are my thoughts my own?
Are my very thoughts created by some being that distorts our neurological pulses into what we consider 'real'.
Do I think for myself?
If i assume that i can think for myself because i can question the existence of this other being, then what if the other being is leaving that option open as a double bluff.
What if the other being is so assured in my captivity to the injection of external thoughts that there is no issue with allowing me to entertain the idea that there is a abeing doing so.
That even if I were to ponder the existence of the other being and find out there is one injecting thoughts and constructing my reality before me, that there is nothing i can do even if i knew the truth.

Well, the reason Pluto's status as a planet was revoked is BECAUSE our knowledge and scientific advancement grew. We developed better technology which allowed us to better observe the solar system and galaxy around us and that's how we discovered exoplanets, which are planetoids that are structured and orbitally behave differently than planets, and how we came up the conclusion that Pluto was not a planet but an exoplanet. Our growth of knowledge and improvement of technology also allowed us to discover a celestial body beyond Neptune's orbit that may be a new planet. So it's more the case that in light of new evidence and new tools with which to discover that evidence that led to the conclusion that Pluto is not a planet.

Knowledge-That is merely observation.
Knowledge-How is application.
Adam and Eve realized they were naked and felt embarrassed upon eating the forbidden fruit. Prior to that they were already living life and functioning amongst their environment with ease. It’s clear they gained the knowledge of that (observation) post-forbidden fruit.

actually… if you've actually read Genesis, it does say what Adam and Eve learned. When they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they learned that they were naked. 😛 But since they might have already known technically that they didn't have anything on them, I think the real thing they gained was the reaction to being naked- shame. So it does bring up the interesting idea that though before they might have understood that they were naked, it didn't effect them until they ate the fruit. So basically I'd have to disagree that the text doesn't say what they learned, because it's quite plain if you read Genesis 3, but as to what they actually gained by eating the fruit, I think that is the more interesting question to be thought about. Anyway, very interesting video about knowledge! I would like to see more in-depth about the other things you explored, such as the Gettier problem. It seems you have a lot of videos exploring different concepts, but they're very basic from what I can see. I guess that's standard procedure, but perhaps some links to your source material for further reading would be helpful? I'm interested in the concepts you explored in the video and links to articles about your sources would be a nice addition!
