[extropy-chat] A New Year's gift for Bayesians

[Hara Ra]

How Newtonian. 1 ml of air has 10^19 molecules, and all we know are a few 
statistical values..... When you start with quantum theory and then recall 
the sensitvities in chaos, knowing probablities as described is obviously 
unknowable. Only a saint would think otherwise..... (Saint Laputa?)

>>Laplace takes every event in your life, and every probability you 
>>assigned to each event, and multiplies all the probabilities together. 
>>This is your Final Judgment - the probability you assigned to your life.
>
>Saint Laplace should instead extrapolate your probabilities and assign 
>them to all events that happen, regardless of whether you learn about 
>them.  Then you won't want to commit suicide, etc.
