I googled Aumann Agreement and it’s all about agreeing about whether things are true/false/likely/unlikely.
I don’t understand your point at all in this context. What’s “Aumann Agreement” in the context of a discussion about values?
- bratbag 28d agoThe outcomes those values achieve.
- arjie 28d agoHaha, it’s figurative and requires squinting. “rational actors with common axioms will reach shared conclusions through repeated exchange of information”. So if you’re not reaching a shared conclusion then you’re not exchanging information, you don’t have shared axioms, or one of you isn’t rational. If it didn’t land with you, it was just a poor choice of phrase and while I care to attempt to explain it, I don’t care to attempt to defend it. Values are not different from other positions that people might hold. I believe values and principles are just lossy compressions of positions about specifics because we cannot express them all. When you poke at the edges you find they are fractal. So “what’s your estimate for random variable X?” And “are open borders good?” Are not really different questions so much as questions about different levels of specificity.

- skrebbel 27d agoAppreciate the writeup, thanks.
- neuroticnews25 27d agoHave you heard about the free energy principle and free energy model of emotions? In this model, all brain does is minimize the prediction error, so all values and beliefs are bayesian priors by necessity.
- arjie 27d agoNeat model. I found some references online. Thanks for introducing me to it.
