PQ: So, how do you know when knowing-what-you-know is actually reliable?
RF: I present my work for validation and verification.
PQ: One example, please.
RF: I walk onstage and play music. The audience have the responsibility to provide validation – Yes! This works! – and then – Yes. This is true. Validation is external – This works! This is fit for purpose! Verification is internal. We go into ourselves and notice if our resonance is sympathetic with the subject/object of our consideration. If what we know to be real and true inside us, resonates, then we may give our approval. “Yes, this music is true”. That is, to the extent of our competence in knowing the true.
