No one knows the difference. That doesn't mean it's not important, but it's in the hands of god.

probably too defeatist for my disposition

It's fully general so it explains the mixture of victory and defeat that occur irl equally well.

fully general explanations can't have any informational content 'this is all a dream' is fully general, and explains nothing

I think for the most part there's a distribution of contradictory horseshit opinions held inconsistently by people and being allowed to do things with other people's money/resources is mostly a matter of feeding speech tokens into this slot machine.

all ideas have the potential to be inconsistent with *something*, determining which side of the inconsistency equation is "better", and so should be used as the ground on which we reason, is the hard part

Right, but it's the "a measure ceases to become a valid measure when it becomes a target" thing. Everyone is chasing each other in circles. Nobody actually knows anything. The people that pretend to are full of shit.

i mean, that's why the only escape is to try to find targets that invalidate measures (science, baish!)
