What are your underlying models of the world built out of?
As a Bayesian, my models of the world are built on priors. That is, assumptions I’ve made based on my existing information. From that, I make an educated guess about the world with that model and see what the world does. If my guess doesn’t match reality, I update my assumptions to rebuild my model and repeat the process until it’s close enough.
This is the way the best science is done, and I fell it’s the way that humans really work. Language is just a type of model we use to communicate the world to others, each of us may have a slightly different Bayesian understanding of the language yet we can still communicate.

Clan Lord. It’s a place that’s special in my heart. I’ve been playing on and off since 2001.
Universal Paperclips, mentioned in the book, is a journey. What starts as a clicker game turns into so much more. It’s a free browser game, but in that old-time sense of freeware.
All very fair points. It’s all wildly complicated, and I agree; we don’t really understand ourselves.
