Actually cognitive faculties have many jobs. Gaining true beliefs seems to be a very artificial and hard one to me. It also involves already other epostemology, like evidentialism. So I think reformed epostemology is redundant for people educated in critical thinking and impossible for people, who prefer rationalising their ideology over being sceptical.

it would be great if you make a video about Kalam and the modal ontological argument for the existence of God. Well those are the ones that catch my attention the most.

I think in rejecting EAAN, you can derive an argument against the idea of God as basic belief if the cognitive faculty used to produce this belief are unreliable.

Love this one. Thanks for reposting it.

Saying something is "possible" as in a modal possible world, doesn't imply it is "probable". Thus this fails to attack any probabilistic version of the EAAN. The EAAN still stands.

The idea that evolution selects for truth or truth forming mental attributes, isn't on firm biological grounds. All you need is behavior which helps survival.
