Epistemology is Dead

I doubt I am the first person to consider this but it is something I have believed for years now. I mean it in a similar sense to how Nietzsche said that God is dead.

We live in a society dominated by hierarchies, credentials, and educational degrees. We live in a society that relies upon these structures to maintain balance and order. They are a necessity for the functioning of society.

This reliance has created a dogmatic society that suffocates freedom of expression and creativity. In order to break free from this suffocation, we must kill epistemology. We must free ourselves from the dogmatic structures on which we have accepted our understanding for what we think we know.

Epistemology is comfortable. Epistemology is the base of knowledge we pull our understanding of everything from. A reliance upon epistemology limits our abilities to think for ourselves and learn organically. When we dogmatically rely upon systems of knowledge, we are all herded towards similar ways of thinking at the expense of individuality and creativity. We get stuck in patterns of thinking which we know work and get scared to explore new ways of thinking. Epistemology is comfortable dogmatism.

In order to win back our freedom of expression, individuality, and creativity, we must kill dogmatic epistemology.
