Every time I see someone describe their beliefs as their "priors," I have to fight the urge to punch a hole in the wall.

Is that because Hume frequently assumed first-person and second-person knowledge being based on two different logical functions (to facilitate the flow of his interlocutors), when "you" and "I" are in fact the same form and one logical function?

No, it's because no one ever says "prior" when they mean "low priors," they ALWAYS mean "beliefs." Also, Kahneman and Tversky proved that humans aren't probabilistic reasoners, so priors don't exist. But beliefs do. And you mean "beliefs." So say "beliefs!"
