There are patterns in how the world works. This is effective way in finding those patterns. The most optimal way of finding the right beliefs / patterns will not have any attachment to views—anticipating a result seems a little counterproductive to finding optimal patterns as it biases you to hold onto current beliefs.
Simply ask questions—explore and exploit working patterns.
Ironically this is the purely semantic disagreement the post warns about. Let’s say I found a “pattern”, that apples falls to the ground, I end up believing that apples fall towards the ground, I anticipate this to be the case. How is that any different from the thing the post is talking about? What use are the so called “patterns” if they don’t predict/anticipate anything inferentially?
