#5592·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 days agoRevision 12 says:
Isn’t the assignment of positive scores, of positive reasons to prefer one theory over another, a kind of justificationism? Deutsch criticizes justificationism throughout The Beginning of Infinity, but isn’t an endorsement of a theory as ‘good’ a kind of justification?
I should know better since I recently wrote about how justifying a preference for a theory is fine (as opposed to justifying the claim that a theory is true).
As of 2026-09-02, I’ve removed that part from the blog post.
