So what if anything is the standard lesswrong approach to Nelson Goodman’s grue problem? If there is any paradox I could imagine someone posing against LW, I would imagine it would be the Grue problem.
(damn down voters edit): Not that I think it would pose any real threat. Just curious, I’m sure LW has a brilliant solution. And if not it can def be made by assembling the bits of other posts. I would really like to know why this got down voted.
There’s a fair bit of discussion here, but I wouldn’t say it’s the standard approach to the problem. If you haven’t read Occam’s Razor or some of the stuff on hypothesis complexity, reading that might help.
