But how do you learn from experience? Most ppl’d say: induction. But that’s just wrong. Cf: http://www.theopensociety.net/2011/10/science-learning-from-experience …

We judge ppl by their previous actions! If you lend someone money & they don't pay it back, don't lend again!

Yes, we want to learn by experience. But if we think we do so by induction, that’s just bad thinking. Not the same.
@calciferion -
I'm not making any argument abt induction. I'm saying if you lie to people, they're less likely to trust you.
-
Again: that’s a different point. We are not talking here (I hope) abt merely descriptive psychology.

I really can't over-emphasise how much I do not care about this.

You can argue that its a bad epistemology to predict future behaviour based on past behaviour. I do not care.
