Has anyone noticed that ChristianKl is explaining everything with one theory that says it's bad to explain everything with one theory? ;)

ChristianKl is explaining everything with one theory

There you are wrong. I'm not drawing from a single theory in this discussion. It the lesson from BPS debating that smart people can find good arguments for any position. It's Tedlocks theory of Superforcasting. It's Eliezer's "Policy Debate Shouldn't be One-Sided". It's the general case for scientific pluralism as made by Kuhn and other HPS people.

That's four theories that I'm thinking about actively and there are likely more if I would spent more time to dig.

Lastly, this thread isn't "everything". I write a lot. It's a mistake for you to assume that the tiny bit of my writing that you have read is everything.
