Happy birthday Pierre-Simon, marquis de Laplace (23 March 1749 – 5 March 1827), French mathematical physicist (who incidentally, did invaluable work in geophysics). He was pretty hard-headed and probably didn’t really have any imaginary friends, but nonetheless Laplace’s Demon is my 3rd in the series of Imaginary Friends of Science. 🧵

When I was a child, I thought the world had things that were true and things that were false, i.e., things were "black and white".
Things happened to me, including reading "Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid" #Godel #GodelEscherBach, and I realized "Oh! There’s a gray area! (and not only that, the very edges of the gray area are fuzzy!"
And then I learned about #Bayes (and #Laplace) and realized: "Oh shit! It’s **all** gray!"
It feels like you **know** some things to be true because have assigned them such high probabilities. So high, they seem certain. Sorry. It’s not actually 1. And always remember: probability is what you **know**; reality is outside of that (just like "is your blue the same as my blue?"). Yes! Your model is good enough to navigate the world and make good decisions; but absolutely don’t confuse that with having no room left to learn.
I know I said this in a weird way, but keep growing.

There’s a strong urge to believe what you wish instead of what you can prove. Computer rumors are a great example. Many rumors have no basis other than being a feature someone wants. They call it "wish casting".
We want the world to be black and white. Some given statement is either true or false. But it’s not. Gödel #Godel describes at least three states: true, false, and unprovable (e.g., the statement "This statement is false". Can’t be true or false; it’s unprovable. Maybe there’s a better name.)
But it’s worse than that.
In science, a theory isn’t true … it’s just the best explanation we have so far. The whole endeavor of science is to keep finding better explanations. To make good decisions you don’t need the absolute best explanation, just one good enough to guide you to beneficial choices. (I said "prove" before, but to be more accurate I should be talking not about what you can prove, but about what you can’t disprove.)
#Bayes (really #Laplace) says a given notion isn’t true, it’s actually true-with-some-probability. Each new thing you observe impacts that #Probability. This is the actual math behind the #ScientificMethod. And it’s the truth of the world. Your beliefs must adapt to your observations, constantly, forever.
If you have unshakable faith in some set of "facts", you’re probably doing it wrong. Even when you’re right, you could be righter.
Of course, if you don’t adjust your beliefs with new input, if you don’t test, if you have "facts" instead of "very probable theories". If you believe things because of how strongly the person who convinced you believed instead of what they could actually show you. If you believe simply because that’s what your parents taught you. Then, well, you **might** be right (even a stopped clock is right twice a day). But at best you’re not going to make good decisions for yourself, and at worst you’re going to try to tell others what to do based on an inaccurate understanding.
It’s messy; and that’s just how it is.

"Pierre-Simon, Marquis de Laplace (23 March 1749 – 5 March 1827)"
"Sometimes referred to as the French Newton or Newton of France, he has been described as possessing a phenomenal natural mathematical faculty superior to that of almost all of his contemporaries."

Restaurantketen La Place wordt door eigenaar Jumbo op afstand gezet, mogelijk een eerste stap naar verkoop. Ooit was het horecabedrijf de glanzende parel in de kroon van warenhuisgigant V&D, nu is het een zorgenkind. Hoe kon het ooit succesvolle La Place zo door het ijs zakken?
