Epistemic responsibility

Epistemic responsibility means that you have a responsibility to be careful and truthful when you say something or believe something. It's like when you play with your toys, you have to be responsible for taking care of them and not breaking them.

Now, imagine if you were a scientist and you were studying something really important, like how to make medicine to help people who are sick. You have a responsibility to be very careful and honest when you do your research and share your findings with other scientists. If you make mistakes or lie, it could be very dangerous for people who need the medicine.

Being epistemically responsible means that you always try your best to be accurate and truthful when you talk about things that you know or believe. It's like being a good detective who is always trying to find the truth about something. You have to be careful not to jump to conclusions or make assumptions without enough evidence.

Remember, being responsible with what you say and believe is very important because it can affect other people's lives.
