Class 3: Uncertainty & Probability Theory: The Logic of Science: Belief & Faith

Lesson 3: Belief & Faith. We finish Chapter 1 of "Uncertainty". I give a plea why philosophy is necessary. The blog/Substack have an excerpt from this chapter again.
All questions will be answered in the following Monday's lecture.

I think the pace of the lecture is good.

I see the trolls have come out: "Don't try to teach me anything I don't already know. It can't be right or I would already know it." Which, one admits, is a common opinion in academia.

I got exactly what I expected when I read "Statistician to the Stars". FRAUD.

Philosophy is really not that much better than "intuition". It can be just as arbitrary. Some philosophies do a better job than others.

[@paulocorrea521]

Philosophy is a structured approach to understanding, while intuition comprises the subconscious outcomes shaped by inherent instincts and significant experiences. Your assertions lack clarity and substance.

@@paulocorrea521 Is that final sentence a necessary truth or a local truth?

[@dspondike]

Never get what "in a regular class"? This is sounding hinkey. Truth? Woke?

Off the rails within the first 4 minutes. LMFAO! Condescending BS.
