It used to be the case that if I paid attention, I'd often notice that I was playing music in my head, usually somewhat original (not just playing back exact recordings), and can add new instruments. So I find this a priori "not that hard". But of course that may not be typical.

Or the music isn't very original. Also, maybe the precise notes aren't perfectly defined - that's sometimes true for me when I imagine music. But I think the whole thing quite plausible. Dreams generally involve much greater creativity than can easily be consciously manifested.

Think what you will of the simulation hypothesis -- fiction is a biased sample, entirely favoring universes simulated at low fidelity and showing signs of a designer's hand.

Hard to say if the update has to be favorable for x on the whole, since this seems to be a logical-uncertainty update rather than a Bayesian update.

So "x refutes its own justification" doesn't seem like an argument against x, rather, an argument against the position which the justification assumed - which will usually be an anti-x position, if the pyrrhonian example is typical. So, favourable sign for x.

For example, pyrrhonian skepticism: if you buy an argument for it, then you don't buy any arguments for anything. It's a perfectly consistent position once you're there. The position you left, by buying the argument, must have been inconsistent tho.

Travel to a neighboring town. Treat it like a foreign country. Try to learn the language and customs. Make fast friends with the locals. Sample the food. Return home forever changed. Write a popular travel guide.

Paying more than a dollar in a dollar auction doesn't automatically make you irrational. Only if you'd predictable do so. This is a bit similar to the observation that waiting time distributions in no way have to reduce expected time left as you wait.

Are you sure? Seems like there's speed kind of active forgetting going on to me, because I'll progressively forget more detail through the day. Seemingly more so than for regular events?

Prey evolve camouflage in an evolutionary arms race with predators, but does it have a side effect of making the world just really confusing for other animals?

Ecologists understand good and evil. Ethicists understand what's needed for a well-functioning collection of interacting organisms in an environment.
