                        Full Idea: Surely ALL truths are externally justified?
                        From: Adam Cross (works [2001]), quoted by PG - Db (ideas)
                        A reaction: A very nice warning to aspiring externalists. If you actually think the justification is somehow 'out there', then everything is going to be justified, by its own facts. We need to get the justification 'in here'.
