Before even reading it I was confused.
Epistemic status for the first part of this post:
[image of thinking woman in front of math]
Epistemic status for the second part:
[Image of greek? philosopher preaching]
Admittedly I should probably know who the second image is of, but I have no idea what they're trying to say with either of these.
As we say in the Bayesian conspiracy: even if you’re not interested in base rates, base rates are interested in you.
No. Stop. This is just awkward to read.
Well, the second picture is a 400-year-old painting, depicting Ezekiel's vision of the valley of dry bones. (So presumably the guy preaching is Ezekiel, obeying God's instructions to tell the bones to join together and form bodies.)
This still leaves it rather unclear what the two pictures mean as epistemic statuses, but I take the first to mean "here I am just explaining what the mathematics says, so there's not much scope for doubt" and the second to mean "here I am preaching religion, and you may if you wish dismiss me as a fanatic". ...
