Do you have sources for those numbers?
- lidHanteyk 7y agoThanks to Aumann's Agreement, I cannot convince you that the priors are well-calibrated priors without infinite regress. Do you have sources for other numbers that you would prefer be used instead?
- abvdasker 7y agoI'm gonna take that as a no.
- lidHanteyk 7y agoSure. Take a step back and look at this with some perspective: * Neither of us really know what's going on * Both of us have done private research * We came up with some numbers * I shared my numbers, you didn't share yours Your complaint is that I'm not delegating the numbers to some authority. My complaint is that, regardless of which authority you choose, you're still choosing an authority. I'm not saying that I'm right; in fact, part of the point of choosing priors is to be wrong. However, when we publicize the process of selecting priors, we of course embarrass each other: If the priors were already well-known and well-agreed-upon, then by Aumann's Agreement, we would have nothing to discuss.
