When are you not justified then?If you believe, you’ve already justified. Of course it’s authoritarian; you’re it. — Mww
I don't want to.Why limit yourself with reason. Transcend reason. Be a force of nature — Wittgenstein
That makes sense.Justification is needed when time comes to use knowledge as the basis for action. Actions have risks, consequences.

B1: Who's said this?“I want you to realize that when I speak of a fact I do not mean a particular
existing thing, such as Socrates or the rain or the sun. Socrates himself does not
render any statement true or false. What I call a fact is the sort of thing that
is expressed by a whole sentence, not by a single name like ‘Socrates.’ . . .We
express a fact, for example, when we say that a certain thing has a certain
property, or that it has a certain relation to another thing; but the thing which
has the property or the relation is not what I call a ‘fact.”’ Citation

It seems like you're conflating contentions with beliefs. Beliefs are personal.You only have to justify your beliefs if you want them to be taken seriously. If they cannot be justified you can’t be surprised when they are dismissed by others. — DingoJones
Who's asking?Do you know whether or not you're a brain-in-a-vat being fed fake experiences by computers? — Soumadeep Ghosh
