At a time in which knowledge has become more reachable than ever before, a revisit to the tools we use to know things beckon. While disturbed with the question, 'But how do you know?', Aaron Adekoya wields a type of knowledge, episteme, that we can reliably bequeath to posterity for safe use.

At a time in which knowledge has become more reachable than ever before, a revisit to the tools we use to know things beckon. While disturbed with the question, 'But how do you know?', Aaron Adekoya wields a type of knowledge, episteme, that we can reliably bequeath to posterity for safe use. Through a journey of the natural world and what Adekoya calls an 'Epistemological Quest', he explores the theory of sexual selection, morality, and a political science of racism. Yet through his contention that free will is compatible with determinism, responsibility dissolves while agency doesn't, which, for Adekoya, we must use to orient our lives for 21st century-knowledge and beyond. So with a message from the author using one of his tools, probability, he suggests that "the probability of us being a complete cosmological accident is higher than the probability of God's existence. But there's nothing pessimistic about this proposition, as the possibility of God's existence is, illogically speaking, infinite".
