Well there was a popperian in scott’s comment section his argument was something like
“How do you know you’re not adopted?”
I think on basis of Bayesian prior and expected utility it’s entirely fine to go about living your life like you’re not.
If I am to be a strict popperian I would have to answer “I don’t know maybe test it” vs “It’s highly unlikely given these reliable reasons which constitute my priors”. I think the pragmatic superiority of the latter is quite evident.
