I am aware that my lack of logical omniscience is a problem for foundations of Bayesian epistemology (and, frankly, in the rest of my life too). The logical omniscience issue is another one I am interested in tackling, if you would like to write a post formulating that problem and maybe suggesting some paths for addressing it, by all means have at it. A set of ambiguous and somewhat rude questions directed at me or no one in particular is not a constructive way to discuss this issue.

I recommend starting here.

Lesswrongian-Bayesian P works as this kind of an epistemic modal operator, and has exactly the problems I mentioned.
