[Mark Delepine]

It is largely responsible for my losing for Correspondence theory losing its grip on my idea of truth. I studied philosophy at Cal as an undergraduate when Fred Dretske was visiting. So I must have been influenced. But the idea that belief was really and always should reflect what one has most reason to believe was a strong belief I held without realizing it was anything over which people reasonably disagree. To connect as you point out to desire and to what one is dispositionally inclined to look for in the world was a wake call.

Sorry but this forum structure doesn’t help a faulty memory. Not at all sure I answered everything you asked but I thank you for the discussion and am now called to breakfast so I’ll check back later.
