    hard agree here I think this approximates my method for evaluating whether I believe a thing can you use it to build something? can you predict what will happen if you try to use it to make something new?https://twitter.com/__vba/status/1048388985217798145 …

    I'm very vulgar in my understanding of knowing: You can make good predictions or build stuff that don't fall apart very often, you know about a thing. One can think about different kinds of knowledge for people and other entites, but I probably don't believe in them.

        theres nothing wicked about models that dont do this, however they tend to lend themselves to making stories which are ripe for social abuse

        related: the more difficult some knowledge is to prove, (generally) the less useful it is. e.g. QM is easy to prove because a billion machines prove that it works every second.

        I think this is somewhat circular. QM enabled us to build those machines in the first place

        so retrospectively it is "easy" to prove but that doesn't mean that it was trivial or easy at all before it was known

        especially in the sense that the experiments themselves were dirt cheap

        and also the sense that they were extremely convincing and repeatable

        in stark contrast to particle physics where the experiments cost billions of dollars, require years of data analysis, and have no practical applications for the foreseeable future.
