doxa

But common sense is the necessary starting point of all science (the ancient Greeks talk about doxa and endoxa).

Today schools push doxa and try to their best to avoid gnosis and even speculation about gnosis.

It's not a mere matter of IQ but substantial vs notional knowledge or gnosis vs doxa.

But nowadays if you're not following the doxa you get perma-banned from some sub first then next day perma-banned from reddit itself.

I think if pressed Socrates/Plato would say that LLM's are merely doxa machines, incapable of logos.

He worries that books will codify doxa in such a way as to stifle inquiry—a worry that was clearly warranted, as evidenced by this thread.

This is all the doxa of one still in the cave.

As a result modern society is practically ignorant as the middle-age societies, only most does not know that because they think knowledge is only doxa.

We don't treat doxa and endoxa as having equal weight.

I think this raises the question of what reasoning beyond Doxa entails.

I would certainly agree that matters of social policy fall firmly into the realm of what I would call opinion (doxa, to use Plato's terminology).

No more logos, only endless stochastic doxa.

Most these days are just trained for doxa, classify knowledge as something impossible, even dangerous, "perhaps for the PhD" (of course who is trained on the doxa-only basis)...

When Aristotle means someone’s own opinion, he uses a different word like “doxa”, how things appear to people, which is translated as belief or opinion.

Ancient Greek's have two separate world for "knowledge": doxa and gnosis.

To utter conformist statements spawned from surface statistics would be "doxa" - repeating "opinions".

Doxa is the practical, notional ability of doing things, gnosis is the understatement of things.
