Libertarian view of Doxastic Responsibility-
it's not immoral to form beliefs in a way not conducive to truth, only foolish

Pojman's response to Libertarian. . . -False beliefs should be fostered under only the most extreme circumstances. In general, it is wrong to violate your epistemic duty.

For thought;
Does morality even attach to belief or only to behavior?
Is truth intrinsically valuable or only as a mean to other goods? Painful truth or comforting lie?

-Beliefs are private, nobody's business.
-make sure not to close ourselves off to possibilities.
