The Epistemic Communication Dilemma Why Infinite Consequences Require Perfect Communication

Abstract

This paper argues that any system assigning infinite consequences must satisfy an epistemic standard proportional to those consequences. It proposes the Principle of Epistemic Justice, demonstrates that finite language cannot satisfy the communicative precision required by infinite consequences, and argues that theological systems combining eternal condemnation with linguistic revelation therefore face an internal epistemic dilemma.
