I agree, of course, that we should prefer reliable epistemologies to unreliable ones, and we should be careful about what we trust.

But I reject that axiom since I think philosophical truth is often subversive, which is why philosophy tends to be unpopular. This is the cosmicist upshot of philosophical naturalism.

Even Plato implied that true knowledge harms those who rely on mere opinion and noble lies, by bursting their inflated ego. (He thought that that ego is illusory, so harming it wouldn't matter, but that's just semantics.) Alas, that entails that philosophy conflicts with mass culture, which ended up harming Socrates whom Plato regarded as the greatest philosopher.
