Interesting experiments. It sounds like they have some fine-tuning to do after which they will need to figure out how to scale things up.

Our instinctual heritage

@son_of_bob, I preferred to put in this topic the following recommendation based on the comment you made in https://discuss.actualism.online/t/spiritual-consciousness/508/54:

If you are not familiar with it, I think you will enjoy and benefit from Robert Matthews’ book “Chancing it” which, in addition to examine the p-values vs sigmas problem, analyzes the deeper underlying problems as well such as assuming normality, assuming independence, using regression inappropriately and, in general, frequentist/classical vs bayesian statistics and the erroneous conclusions, due to logical problems, of many of the papers that have used and still use the former.

Thanks @Miguel sounds interesting, I will add it to my wishlist.

It’s so apparent how we make our decisions out of hope. Wrong 16/17 times, but that one time there’s an accurate prediction, hope gets pumped up and everything continues. And of course it’s possible to hope without any evidence at all…

Wow this is fascinating and hilarious too. Was telling my family there is new hope for mum lol.

The university I went to was famous for deriving string theory and noticed that they kept doing the same elaborate tweaking to their equations. I said isn’t it just totally hypothetical and make believe and the hostility I got from other students, lecturers and advisors was surprising. Like i became the anti string theory person.
