Another option is: ‘No, the stick is straight; the refraction of the light through the water makes it look ‘bend’. And that is when we strike in search of the truth and knowledge: ‘How do you know the stick is straight? How do you know the stick is bending? Is that a belief? Consider the following statements:

- I do not think that God exists.
- I do not believe that the Universe has a beginning.
- I do not know much about Islam.

An anarchistic epistemologist is blind to the two first statements. We do not care about what religion think or believes; we do not care what science thinks or believes. We care about what they know and how do they know.

Anarchistic epistemologists cannot be based on claims, beliefs or opinions, but only on knowledge. Science is the most reliable statement we confirm as being closer to the top of the pyramid, but science itself has many unanswered questions. Anarchistically speaking, and we do not beg your pardon, we do not give a shit about religion which is a completely belief-based world. We can shut them down indifferently just by asking a simple question: How many different religions exist today in our world, and how many more are still in the creating process? (They have our permission to call Satanists as much as they want; does not make much difference, an opinion stays an opinion to us).

Opinions come and go, beliefs remain beliefs. We seek knowledge.
