Hi, Jef, philosophies are nothing but maps/movement of the 
mind/thoughts subject to error. As someone said a map is not the 
territory/truth. If you asked what is truth?  I'd say,why do you ask? 
You said you want to know what actions to take or what you expect it to 
be. Can you be more specific? The topic "Probability is in the mind" 
sound vague to me. Probabillity according to the dictionary is that 
which is likely to happen. Is it an educated guess or not? Probably 
either depends on how the mind is trained by the subject/doer. 
Philosophers are trained in logic, using reason to navigate reality. 
But scientists do not depend on reason alone. They use scientific 
devices i. e. MRI to map the brain.This technological tool accurately 
showed the parts of the brain involved in thinking and feeling. The 
subject is awake and asked what he thinks or feels at the moment. If 
you are awaked, you respond as asked. You as the subject is at the same 
time is an observer of your thoughts and feelings.
