Epistemic status: it's aphids, man, aphids everywhere. I asked ChatGPT. They're aphids. They're in my hair, on my skin, in my lungs. And the pain, Barris, it's unreasonable. They're all over the place. Oh, they've completely gotten Millie too.

Yeah, as somebody who actually thinks the Epistemic status stuff isnt a bad idea.

Even used as a way to honestly disclose how sure you are about a hot-take... it is still a term used to frame hot-takes. And the term "Epistemic Status" feels like cult jargon compared to "here's how sure I am about this stuff"

Ow yeah, the name is just foolish. Just think the idea of disclosing how sure you are as a community norm isn't bad. Of course, they can't even do that seriously.

It's definitely become a cult signifier at this point.
