    since the future hasn’t happened yet, no claim about it can, in the present moment, be true. so you can’t know it.

      I did not use the word “know” in the question “Do you think it’s unjustified to believe that they will resupply your demand?”. Notably, I asked if it is unjustified to believe so.

        You know that others will resupply if you buy this thing

        if you will admit that it is impossible to know this, we can follow whatever tangent you like

          You claimed it’s impossible to know this in the philosophical sense, granted.

          I clarified that my question was posed using “know” in the colloquial sense (i.e. to understand, to take cognition of). The question I originally asked is still unanswered.

            Do you think it’s unjustified to believe that they will resupply your demand?

            people believe all kinds of things with varying levels of justification. i can probably come up with some justification, but that doesn’t mean i know it.

              So you think it’s unjustified?

              Or do you think it’s justified? And therefore you believe that they will kill another animal to resupply the demand that you’ve contributed to.
