@GrumplessGrinch @St_Rev recharacterizing risks as increasing or decreasing measure can help people think about probabilities I guess
@GrumplessGrinch @drethelin But you should really just read @Meaningness's pieces on LW.

@St_Rev@drethelin@Meaningness I see two posts by David_Chapman on LW, neither (directly) on this topic. -
@GrumplessGrinch@drethelin@Meaningness <checks less wrong> Actually they're exactly on this topic, but the inferential distance is large. -
@St_Rev@drethelin@Meaningness I mean he didn't specifically address Kolmogorov. -
@GrumplessGrinch@drethelin Direct corollary: Kolmogorov cannot answer epistemological questions, & distracts from doing so.@Meaningness -
@St_Rev@drethelin@Meaningness Maybe it is inferential distance then. I still don't see why that should be the case.

@St_Rev@GrumplessGrinch@Meaningness sometimes I feel like I should be more useful at math -
@drethelin@st_rev@grumplessgrinch@meaningness always a good idea. -
@bitemyapp@drethelin@St_Rev@GrumplessGrinch@Meaningness this idea has the risk of inducing anxiety, therefore it is bad. -
@emareaf@drethelin@st_rev@grumplessgrinch@meaningness learning oft causes anxiety for people not used to learning. You get over it. -
@bitemyapp@emareaf@St_Rev@GrumplessGrinch@Meaningness I've never had that problem in the past, mostly I'm an awful lazy person -
@drethelin@emareaf@st_rev@grumplessgrinch@meaningness takes practice. Lots. Exercise is similar. Have to just do the work. -
@bitemyapp@drethelin@emareaf@St_Rev@Meaningness "just do the work" has never been helpful advice to anyone, I don't think. -
@grumplessgrinch@drethelin@emareaf@st_rev@meaningness it's been immensely helpful to myself and people I've worked with. - 12 more replies
