ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Episteme

Episteme is just a fancy way of talking about knowledge. It means everything we know about the world and how we know it. Imagine you have a big puzzle you're trying to put together. As you figure out which pieces go where, you learn more and more about the picture on the box. That's kind of like episteme. We start with little bits of information, and as we learn more and more, we build a bigger picture of what we know. It's like a big puzzle, but with knowledge instead of pieces!
