So, this is tangential to what I've been studying, but I've been thinking about it recently. If anyone has any thoughts or reading suggestions that would be cool.

This is very interesting and I'm not sure I completely understand it, but here are some ideas

that it's a priori rational to believe non-skeptical scenarios even if they are not entirely justified, at least within a regular non-skeptical context.

I read that paper a while ago, if I am not mistaken. That might fit into what I am saying, although I hadn't thought about how contextualism would work here. I don't really know enough to know to what degree I "go in for contextualism" yet :).

I was also reminded of an Alvin Goldman article ("Epistemic Folkways and Scientific Epistemology") in which he makes a distinction between UNjustified and NON-justified beliefs

Awesome, I have been trying to remember what article that was for a little while now, because that is very relevant to what I want to do my master's thesis on. Thanks

I'm glad I could provide a few useful citations.

I think your response to my question-begging question is good. I could kind of see that from the original, but now that you say it more explicitly, it makes sense. Good luck with your project, or at least thinking about it!
