I'll add that a decent summary of the position espoused in Where recursive justification hits bottom (linked in the grandparent) is that critical rationalism (or something like it) entails objective Bayesianism. It both entails the use of Baye's rule to update on information and it entails a set of correct priors.

Thanks for helping me realize that Critical Rationalism and Bayesianism can be compliments rather than substitutes.
