@St_Rev Well, you can choose any axioms you like? The problems come when you try to apply math to the real world. -
@Meaningness ...epistemological mistakes have destroyed trillions of dollars of wealth. Something similar going on here that needs debunking -
@St_Rev Except that pop Bayesianism isn’t very popular. It infects only a few hundred geeks, who mostly seem to no-ops due to akrasia anyway -
@Meaningness And that's a small group compared to the number who lost wealth because of them. Put another way: if not these guys, who? -
@St_Rev Are you suggesting that LW might have vastly greater influence than it would appear? (not sure I follow) -
@Meaningness Remember that Ayn Rand's cult spawned Alan Greenspan. -
@St_Rev Yes… but was that predictable beforehand? Can’t refute every wrong idea that goes around. -
