Chaos in our head

This article is from the cycle, you may have missed something

This article is part of the series  " Entertaining Cartography ( A Brief Introduction to Rationality) "





An article about why you can't just divide all beliefs into right and wrong. And also about why this does not prevent us from choosing the best beliefs from possible by calculating the balance of evidence .

On the other hand, this also explains why private small-scale beliefs play such a huge role from a practical point of view. Indeed, it is often precisely on their accuracy that the success of our interaction with that microscopic, incalculably complex piece of reality that we call our life depends.



It seems that the fact that we cannot calculate even this small piece completely does not mean that we should give up trying to make it more predictable. But we'll come back to this later.
