@nostupidquestions Was there a Bayesian rationalist cult on Twitter (pre-Musk - I haven’t visited Twitter after covid)?
Bayesian methods don’t seem to be as widely relevant as people like them would like us to believe, from what I’ve seen from AI papers.

    Being rational is oppositional to being a cult, as it’s constantly trying to get you to question everything, including itself, and dismiss it if it doesn’t stand up.
