Episode notes

Basianism is not dressed up induction. It's a very subjective way of doing probabilities. Different people can have different priors, and that bugs them. You're thinking probabilities as degrees of belief as credences rather than as frequencies of things happening. So tubasians is just how to work ad there's really no other alternative.

Welcome to the September 2021 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!
