Harari leaps from trope to trope, taking correlation (fascism & the internet are both present today) to launch into #MoralPanic about conversational computers & democracy.@UlrikeHahn I think this is a really hard question. And while I have thoughts I wouldn’t presume I know the answer. Representation of alternatives? Planning? At the very least.

Nice review (particularly the end), but I’m still looking for a more in-depth, nerdy takedown of the Bayesian fetish. https://thepointmag.com/politics/the-bookmaker/@UlrikeHahn , indeed that’s what they argue.

But fundamentally, it is people who claim that they are "rational" because they never say something is absolutely true or false (probability of zero or one), and like to believe that they update their credences slowly, based on the quality and degree of evidence (as if those are simple to judge).
