I seem to have taken the role of head epistemologist

Interesting... Not sure what it means... What might a head epistemologist's day look like?

It's hard to know.

I'm missing something here. I feel like there's a joke about epistemology and knowing but I don't quite get it.

It's not much of a joke to begin with, and is attenuated to effective nonexistence by being explained, so I'll just say it's riffing on epistemology being the study of the nature of knowledge and leave it at that.

I'll remove that because it's irrelevant, but basically "everything needs to stop while nyan takes a look, gathers all information with his eagle eyes, correlates it, and works out what's going on."

It was highly temporary; the CTO is now back and obviously takes over that role.
