Class 24: What Is Randomness?

Lesson 24: What Is Randomness?

Random and chance only means unpredictable, or unknown cause. Nothing has randomness, and it is not a physical property.

All questions will be answered in the following Monday's lecture.

Uncertainty & Probability Theory: The Logic of Science

[HenryPozzetta]

The concepts of Bayesian subjective probability and Pragmatism's subjective truth, as proposed by Thomas Bayes and William James respectively, both emphasize the role of individual beliefs and experiences in shaping understanding and decision-making. When integrated, these philosophies reinforce each other by providing a robust framework for practical reasoning and action in today's complex world. This synergy is particularly evident in fields that require decision-making under uncertainty, such as economics, psychology, artificial intelligence, and everyday personal choices.

By embracing both Bayesian subjective probability and Pragmatism's subjective truth, we can develop a more nuanced, effective, and adaptable approach to understanding the world and acting within it—a necessity in today's rapidly changing and complex society.

Can you do an analyses of genomics as a field? It looks like it relies on a lot of coincidences.

Excellent. P.S. I hope my wife doesn't see this because if she does I'll have to build new barn doors and repaint the whole thing.

Algebra is a weaker form of geometry. 名言だ。
