It’s either “nothing here is intended to communicate certainty” or “from my grandiose and objectively correct deductions”

Robert Kiyosaki sold tens of millions of copies of “Rich dad poor dad” despite having no verifiable investment success, just a verifiable corporate bankruptcy

Paul Graham has a short Wikipedia page, but he’s worth billions and has had huge global impact through Y Combinator. They have funded over 5000 idea-stage startups —> ultimately creating over 100 billion dollars companies including Coinbase, Stripe and Airbnb

Anyone can read hundreds of Paul’s essays for free. However, one must pay to read Kiyosaki’s books. Guess what sells.
What are you currently obsessed with that is totally unrelated to your job?
quite tired today, so i decided to "rent" a thinking from these guys to make a post which is basically a generic shallow garbage with no original thoughts. i guess it could be an efficient way to appear as a smart guy — nearly zero effort results in a, more or less, decent output.

Humans aren't just not perfect Bayesians. Very very few of us are even Bayesian wannabes. In essence, everyone who thinks that it is more moral/ethical to hold some proposition than to hold it's converse is taking some criterion other than appearent truth as normative with respect to the evaluation of beliefs.

'taking apparent truth as normative', so I'd call it the only position of that format that is Bayesian.

my questions:

would you prefer to agree with the peers in the same room or to present an opposing view?

do you think it's more ethical to support actions of your country than to criticise them?

what's more moral to you - to follow your religion or to question its dogmas?

do you think it's more respectful to agree with your parent/mentor/professor than to ask epistemically "uncomfortable" questions?
