@Meaningness I've always been confused by this objection to positivism- surely it allows world-models that cash out in direct experience?
@Meaningness what I'm saying is GW hidden variable in world model cashes out to direct experience, and so should be consistent w positivism
@The_Lagrangian Yeah, I don’t know the details of how people worked that through.
@The_Lagrangian The project collapsed a century ago, for reasons that are clear in retrospect, so I’ve never learned the details.
@Meaningness I see people say this all the time but get confused b/c "models need to relate to experience" seems unassailable
@Meaningness but they must have been talking about something much narrower
@The_Lagrangian Well, their question was, given a set of sense data, what can we deduce using logical operations?
@The_Lagrangian The answer turned out to be “nothing,” for lots of reasons.
@The_Lagrangian But one thing they were trying to do was to get rid of spooks, so they were reluctant to posit entities w/o strong reason
@Meaningness just like the behaviorists, who mistook Occam's Razor for "it is impossible for things to have internal state"
@The_Lagrangian Eh… I’m not really knowledgeable enough to say but I don’t think they had the machinery to make that sophisticated a mistake
