A good basian up dates beliefs based on evidence. Doesn't that require the basian to be a hundred per cent confident in the evidence? I suppose there are extensions of basian theorems to account for this. But then you need additional evidence to believe the initial evidence. Have you seen any discussions on how to address this problem? A philosophical issue has occurred to me, and i'm not quite sure what the answer is. Murray canter asks a priority question. For those patrion supporters asking the questions, i guarantee i will answer it. The catch is that you only get to ask one priority question in your life.
Welcome to the August 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — 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.
