    You know that others will resupply if you buy this thing

    if you will admit that it is impossible to know this, we can follow whatever tangent you like

      You claimed it’s impossible to know this in the philosophical sense, granted.

      I clarified that my question was posed using “know” in the colloquial sense (i.e. to understand, to take cognition of). The question I originally asked is still unanswered.

        Do you think it’s unjustified to believe that they will resupply your demand?

        people believe all kinds of things with varying levels of justification. i can probably come up with some justification, but that doesn’t mean i know it.

          So you think it’s unjustified?

          Or do you think it’s justified? And therefore you believe that they will kill another animal to resupply the demand that you’ve contributed to.

            I think I could invent a justification, but that doesn’t make it sound.

              You go to the grocery store without the belief they have resupplied?
