    embrace the confusion
    Random Latin phrases confuse me, like de facto, a priori, expecto patronus, et cetera...
  • kill living beings
    you can replace "a priori" with "prior" here and it's basically the same

    at least that's how i read it. with kant the only thing you'd have a priori reason to trust would be god, or something, probably
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    No, the existence of God can only be given via practical reason, not a priori pure reasoning as classical philosophy tried to do is what Kant would say
  • kill living beings
    well there you go then. trust nobody not even nobody
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat

    De facto = for all intents and purposes
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    ad infinitum

    de facto is a legal term, though, which technically means 'in practice, but not by right' and has developed the informal usage by extension

    i think the dialogue in the OP sounds funny because they're trying to do the same thing with 'a priori', presumably meaning the thing Klino said, except nobody actually uses that term that way, so it brings to mind the specialized Kantian usage which is out of place

    kill living beings
    I mean, it is Witcher 3, it could be Kant

    perhaps

    maybe this line was delivered in the midst of a discussion of the ontology of trust or something, i would need context to judge fairly
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    He's not

    Though because he's basically Satan, if you had some kind of reverse ontological argument, that would be an a priori reason to distrust him
