Chris, to assist me in joining this to LW-ideas: when Feldman speaks of “spontaneously formed beliefs” and “proper responses to experience”, is he pointing to the same notion EY was pointing to with “dynamics” in Created Already in Motion? A transformation of experience into belief that happens automatically and outside awareness?
Maybe? They’re not exactly the same thing, but maybe you could see them “pointing at” the same basic idea. Or that the kind of spontaneous belief formation/responses to experience Feldman talks about are examples of what Eliezer calls “dynamics.”
EDIT: Another way to put it is that the problems being addressed are connected, but the terminology doesn’t map well.
