VDT: a solution to decision theory
refaelb7mo-10

Understood. Just there's a point of criticizing the rigid categories of decision theory, which is shown by showing the common sense in between. This is my question.

That's the idea of the quote at the end from Berlin; but one of the premises of ai research is that thinking is reducible to formula and categories.

Not sure the exact point. If you mean use common sense, can we understand the structure of common sense? Are there rules - mathematical or logical - that define our common sense? Will ai learn VDT, or are humans forever going to dominate decisions?

Just curious if you're serious.
