The former doesn’t imply the latter.
I suspect one could think of QBism as a theory of rational belief for agents in a context where details of quantum mechanics are highly relevant.
Just as bayesianism is a theory of rational belief more generally.
- dekhn 5y agothe former implies the latter through occam's razor.
- drdeca 5y agoI don’t follow. Perhaps we are using “theory of” in different ways?
- vankessel 5y agoI don't disagree with you, but Occam's razor is a principle; a guideline. Not a hard law. From the panpsychic perspective all matter is conscious making everything a "subjective observer," which solves the same problem of humans being arbitrary special observers. Unprovable philosophical dead-end? Sure. Woo? Nah.
- dekhn 5y agothis is why I said "implies". I fully acknowledge that in principle QM and human minds might be intimately boundm but that, like panpsychism is effectively ipossible to prove or disprove in our current scientific framework.
