Can you recommend an overview of everything wrong with probabilistic epistemology? I haven’t found one. There’s lots of papers that say “this particular objection is fatal, so why don’t you guys stop pretending,” but maybe no compendium of those?

I think no one has done that because there’s like 20 fatal defects, and if you want to argue against it, it seems like one conclusive argument should be sufficient. Who wants to comb the literature to find another 19?

The real defense of probabilism is “where’s your alternative?” There’s no answer, if an alternative is required to be a fixed, guaranteed way of gaining knowledge mechanically without understanding what is going on.
