Should non-theistic religions, such as Buddhism, go under “Deist/Pantheist/etc” or “Atheist but spiritual”?
Some of the probability questions are awkward given the recent argument that (raw) probabilities are cursed and given that P(“god”) is higher in simulations and there is an explicit P(simulation). I weighted the probabilities by leverage in an unprincipled way.
It would be nice to have an “undefined” answer for some probability questions, eg the P(Cryonics) and P(Anti-Agathics) questions mostly gave me a divide-by-zero exception. I suppose the people who believe in epsilon probabilities have to suck it up as well. But there was an N/A exception given for the singularity, so maybe that could be a general note.
I’d say non-theistic religions should mark “Athiest but spiritual.”
I’m confident that’s not the least principled way someone has answered the probability questions. I’m currently like asking people to come up with a number, even one they’re pulling out of their rear, and explicitly mentioning N/As feels like it gets me fewer numbers to play with.
