People telling you things is evidence.
- alexnewman 9y agoActually,that's a good point! People telling me things isn't exactly evidence. I wonder what pure evidence would look like?
- aeorgnoieang 9y agoNo, it is exactly evidence. But, as you seem to be aware, each kind or instance of evidence should be weighed differently, i.e. stronger evidence should sway your beliefs more strongly. People telling you things may not be particularly strong evidence, but you should still probably update your beliefs at least a little.
