Nicolo mus messi says that basianism is not about the subjective nature of priors, but rather how they are updated when new data comes in. In theoretical physics, this is precisely the case since listing all possible priors would imply coming up with all the poss theories before being able to up date from evidence. i think t at this isa a very important issue. I mean, i wouldn't put it exactly in the words that you put it in, because any good basian especialy when you're oing something like theoretical physics,. Youl tryt let's say you're tying to explain the dark matter, right? Like we were just talking about.
Welcome to the May 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
