I am skeptical. Do you spend literally all of your time and resources on increasing the accuracy of your beliefs, or do you also spend some on some other form of enjoyment?
Yet I would maintain that belief in true facts, when paired with other things I value, is what I place high value on. If I pair those other things I value with belief in falsehoods, their overall value is much, much less. In this way, I maintain a very high value in belief of true facts while not committing myself to maximize accuracy like paper clips.
(Note that I’m confabulating here; the above paragraph is my attempt to salvage my intuitive beliefs, and is not indicative of how I originally formulated them. Nevertheless, I’m warily submitting them as my updated beliefs after reading your comment.)
