Jaynes/Drescher/Pearl/Nozick/Dawes
I don’t want to sound dumb, but who are these people and what did they write?
Jaynes wrote “Probability theory—the logic of science”—THE text for objective Bayesianism (and an inspiration to the early Yudkowsky)
Drescher wrote “Good and real”, a compendium of philosophy that is basically LessWrong in a book.
Pearl wrote “Causality”, an influential text for Timeless Decision Theory, about how to construct causal models with Bayesian networks.
Nozick and Dawes are outside of my knowledge though, I don’t think they are as ‘canon’ as the first three.
