Richard Ngo

Richard Ngo, author and philosopher, dives into his critiques of Bayesianism as a method of reasoning. He explains the core principles of Bayesianism, highlighting its focus on degrees of belief, and presents philosophical objections, such as the need for fuzzy truth values. Ngo emphasizes the importance of model-based reasoning and discusses the limitations of Bayesian methods in complex scientific modeling. He draws on insights from Karl Popper to explore how models can differ in structural accuracy and practical usefulness.
