I talked this over with a large amount of people I have known know in the bay area rationalist community and I am correct, and they told me to just ignore it(and you). It’s just a problem with posting on forums.
You have still failed to answer the one part of my argument I was referring to, if it has zero effect is has the integral of utilities set to zero which is completely false, it also means the probabilities are enumerated which is false, the study design only enumerates parts of the entire probabilities of the spectrum, that’s what statistical analysis IS. If you do not see why the twin design study does not enumerate all relevant probabilities under analysis then you need to reed more. Sorry. Do twin design studies remove all uncertainties? No not really it depends on what we are talking about. Statistical analysis is not the whole picture when it comes to executing over risk, because there is a hard limit for the utility of statistical analysis for decision making which is why we hand it off to prescriptive decision theory.
I am fundamentally satisfied that I am correct afaik.
I did take about it. Someone who says X is less important then it’s generally believed isn’t arguing that X has a zero effect. Treating him as if he would argue that means to strawman. It’s generally more useful to steelman arguments than to strawman them.
Does it look like I’m strawmaning? I did not strawman any argument I had direct quotes and he has talked to me several times implying the same thing and in fact many people accept that those are his positions. He has directly told me it has zero effect. Read that quote and then read your ridiculous posturing.
Keith Stanovich’s arguments apply to the entire human race as does the certainty & utilities argument. I have given you direct quotes and direct reading material which DIRECTLY STATES ALL OF MY ARGUMENTS. I’ve had enough.
calm down and stop arguing about someone using the word zero in a hyperbolic fashion. It doesn’t matter, you’re not convincing anyone, even Jayman probably doesn’t actually believe the influence of parents is zero if you asked in a non-confrontational way. And even if he does: it doesn’t matter. You’re coming somewhere else and arguing about one random guy’s views. You’re getting really upset and confrontational about it. You’re not adding any information and you’re constantly talking past everyone else.
or Risk—A Multidisciplinary Introduction all emphasize non-statistical risk measures. It doesn’t matter whether it’s zero or not.
“We discuss a simplified view of
risk assessment and do not cover
decision and utility theory except
in passing and to make the point
that such theory is not enough
without coherent models of the
problem situation. Most other
books try to present decision the-
ory and risk all at once and in a
very mathematical way; this can
be rather overwhelming.”
Alright?
You’re not adding any information
False. I have given further resources and people have not talked about them. Not every one is passive.

Then we can merely respond to whatever range of the interval you think the utilities are. Read this
