Bayesianism and the Origin of Ideas
Bayesianism tends to focus on optimizing beliefs given evidence and does not discuss where new ideas come from. It does not provide an answer to the generation of ideas. The Bayesian brain hypothesis describes the human brain as a consequence of Bayesian updating. Criticisms of Critic Rationalism (CR) are difficult to define as it encompasses a diverse community with different ideas. There may be disagreements between the speaker and David Deutsch, particularly regarding the value of community and the inclusion of emotions such as anger. The speaker suggests that there are areas of thought that Deutsch has not explored or considered, and mentions an interest in emotional integration and the value of anger.
