Maybe trust isn't the right word then? If you trust it, you trust it, I'm not sure how that would fit with pragmatism. Pragmatism wouldn't be necessary at that point because pragmatism was created to get by without trust, I think it would likely disprove pragmatism as well as you might find truth and what is pragmatic don't always align. Trust isn't a light word, trust is jumping out of a plane believing someone packed your parashute. Maybe "submit" or "yield" is the right word? (I don't want to go off topic into pragmatism, I'm just trying to see if "trust" is the right word to use here.)This is still a pragmatist angle, it’s just a new approach. I’ve acknowledged that you could overcome the last parts of the dialectical loop by being incoherent or irrational, but that’s its own problem. Isn’t the point of this question for you to conclude that there’s no way we can rationally trust our faculties without invoking the design of God? It’s my argument that trusting one’s faculties is the only live option one has, regardless of whether they’re actually reliable or not. God need not enter the equation.
