It appears to me that if you investigate it, the category becomes increasingly nebulous. The point is not that “beliefs don’t exist” but that what counts as a belief, and what counts as having a belief, is inherently vague.

Have you ever read Mitchell Heisman’s Suicide Note? Just curious.

I hadn’t come across it; sounds interesting (but is 2000 pages apparently!) What made you think of it?

This is a topic I'd like to engage in. Is there a link to the post you've screenshotted here, or is it a work in progress?

Only in-progress, I’m afraid! Last bit of a chapter on belief in my book-in-progress on meta-rationality.

What does this mean for gaining more and more accurate, informative beliefs? Does this mean we should lower our evidential standards or be less rigorous about our belief-forming processes?
-
It means that we can understand things more accurately if we apply a more accurate understanding of believing itself.

I have been tracking my beliefs in Github for years: https://github.com/busterbenson/public/blob/master/book-of-beliefs.md … They need to be both precise and editable. Tracking how they gain resolution and move is probably more interesting than what they are.

You're one of a kind, Buster!
