Gettier's CHALLENGE: Is what you KNOW really knowledge?

What is knowledge? Is it enough to have a justified true belief (the so-called tripartite JTB analysis)? Philosopher Edmund Gettier would claim that we might not.
While these questions might seem abstract, like a topic for café intellectuals, they have practical implications in our everyday lives. In an era of expanding discussions about misinformation and the role of 'expert' arbiters in moderating or censoring information, understanding the nature of knowledge can provide a fresh perspective on what we think we or others know.
