I am curious; what is the general LessWrong philosophy about what truth “is”?
To the extend that there a general philosophy it’s http://lesswrong.com/lw/eqn/the_useful_idea_of_truth/ but individual people might differ slightly.
Hmm, thanks. Seems similar to my description above, though as far as I can tell it doesn’t deal with my criticisms. It is rather evasive when it comes to the question of what status models have in Bayesian calculations.
