It’s like carrying an itch since a decade about why is an infinitesimally small arc considered a straight line and someone scratched it today.

Hume makes you feel distrust everywhere

Govind Vashistha@vash_go2012

Reading Hume and Wittgenstein makes you devastatingly good at arguments. They are both making the same moves throughout their works - Take a connection everyone treats as necessary, logical, given, and show that it’s actually not there. Hume does it with - cause and effect, future and past, is and ought. Wittgenstein does it with - “each fact is logically independent of every other” Almost every argument anyone makes, especially moral and political ones, has an ought smuggled into a chain of is-statements, and once you can see the smuggle, you can stop the argument cold by pointing at it. It is especially lethal against someone not trained in it, because the smuggle is invisible to them.

The ability to distinguish between using “ruin-avoidance” and “expected value” is the judgement. Game theory, incentives, and decision theory are entirely descriptive/predictive, they tell you what a rational agent will do given their goals and payoffs.They can tell you the Nash equilibrium, the dominant strategy, what a self-interested agent optimizes toward, but nothing in that machinery tells you what anyone should value or do in a moral sense. The “ought” has to be imported from outside the math.

Seeing the common skeleton behind seemingly unrelated problems is a major alpha. Although, it tempts you to ignore details of the problem which might be very useful. Example - Theoretically, buying a health insurance is a poor decision because of its expected value. If you applied decision/game theory on problems that involve humans and treat them as “agents” like maths does, you might run into issues.

If you could see how an “idk” would resolve, it wouldn’t have been an “idk”.

If two people have genuinely different terminal values, and both are internally coherent and well-informed, then formal rational argument alone is unlikely to settle the disagreement.

I am not understanding this. The explanatory nature of theories is a human desire, not one nature is bound by. The phenomena can just change. How can losing a good explanation be an evidence that nature can't do it? Isn't the assumption that reality stays explicable an inductive leap?

David Deutsch@DavidDeutschOxf·3d

@vash_go2012 No. The theories explaining sunrises don't distinguish between today's and tomorrow's (angular momentum, solar system layout etc). Varying them to distinguish would spoil their explanatory power. But the same theories explain other things that will ONLY happen tomorrow.

Hello, I have a question: If there were a reading circle where people read for leisure, discussed ideas across disciplines, and occasionally (or frequently) dissected research papers together, would you join? What would you want from a community like that?

@Jaydeep_25 @vash_go2012 An article if one prefers. By the way: if you want “Deutsch’s view” go to “The Fabric of Reality” and check the index there. bretthall.org/blog/induction The long and short of it is: there is *no* “problem of induction” because science is about explanations first, not predictions.
