Yu. Yu: I think that the goal of justifying priors in some absolute foundational sense is not the right goal to have. You know, we human beings are not disembodied logical reasoners. We're part of the world. Josh bower asks, can't get an ought from an ethical framework? Is it just a question of what better means than your preference? And there's no hope of finding a framework agreed upon across culture if it's all down to personal preference.

Welcome to the April 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!
