We know that there are methods of obtaining knowledge. These being:
- Observation or experience.
- Reason or Logic
- Modelling
- Testimony.
- Authority.
- Truth by message.
Some call this epistemic preference.
I wondering if this can be influenced to change - if people wilfully choose it, if it is a factor of their upbringing or is even genetic.
My question is: Is there evidence to suggest that one's epistemic preference is fixed or is flexible?
