Knowledge is what allows us to improve the predictions we make about the world.

This means that knowledge is not binary, can be calculated in degrees. Better knowledge does better in predicting the world, better knowledge is a better Map .

Does this escape the predicament in epistemology that knowledge is true justified belief?

Other types of knowing are of a fundamentally different kind, because they are to some degree unknowable.

Take, for example, historic facts. We can claim to know them, but as isolated facts we cannot test them. But if we consider that a certain historic fact may impact our probability about a future outcome, only in that way can we truly strive to better know a historic fact.

This helps you avoid falling for a mysterious answer.

that which can be destroyed by the truth should be and that which the truth nourishes should thrive.
