(Politics) How much do you need to know to be considered “enough knowledge” in regards to where deciding what your position is?

another way to look at this question is to consider that you may have multiple competing positions which have different levels of justification. in other words, what you consider to be "true" of the world, politically, should be a function of what you know, what you don't know, what you've considered, and what you haven't. since what you call your knowledge is limited, and since it's probably true that some of the things you "know" may not be sufficiently justified or even ultimately true, your certainty that some political position is worth taking should be less than total (perhaps much less). you should also feel fairly confident that the future will produce new ways of understanding humankind, civilization, and political orders that have different or more explanatory power, and may map better or more completely onto reality - but you can't have them as positions now, because they don't yet exist.

this is all to say that political positions should be hedged with acknowledgement of the incompleteness of your own understanding and the underdevelopment of concepts through which to understand politics. it's fine and perhaps practically necessary to take a position, but really digging your heels in the dirt is probably unjustifiable.
