Episode notes

The promise of Bayesian reasoning is that data overwhelms your prior ultimately. It's a little bit fuzzy to say when things are priors and when things are posteriors because we all have certain inclinations, intuitions, pictures of the world. But as a good Bayesian, you shouldn't be too worried about picking your priors. The commodification of brain data is perhaps the most terrifying phrase I've heard on any of your podcasts.

Welcome to the April 2023 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. Enjoy!
