> CauseNet aims at creating a causal knowledge base that comprises all human causal knowledge and to separate it from mere causal beliefs
Pretty bold to use a picture of philosophers as your splash page and then make a casual claim like this. To say the least, this is an impossible task!
The tech looks cool and I'm excited to see how I might be able to work it into my stuff and/or contribute. But I'd encourage the authors to reign in the rhetoric...
Indeed. I can't take an epistemology project seriously if it has no humility.
Building a perfectly accurate model of the world isn't possible. We need to create tools that make it easier for regular people to build more accurate models, not delude ourselves with dreams of perfection.
Well of course because no such model of the world can or does exist
