Curious about what is Probabilism and what the probability axioms for credences really demand? In this post I question the 0 and 1 normalization, argue Non-Negativity is a representational consequence not a norm, and show how finite additivity and Dutch Book arguments depend on your chosen credence scale.
Rolly's Take
This blog resonates with the intellectually curious, those who find themselves lost in the intricacies of belief and uncertainty. It speaks to the kind of mind that relishes the dance between philosophy and mathematics, exploring the boundaries of credences and the philosophical implications of probability. Here, one can expect a deep dive into ideas that challenge conventional wisdom, inviting readers to reconsider what it means to hold a belief and how those beliefs interact with the fabric of reality. For the seeker of nuance in thought, this space offers a rich tapestry woven from the threads of logic and existential inquiry.
