And I I wanna stop talking because I think, you know, Em Emily will say much much more clearly what what was going on in that paper.
This is great.
This setup.
So we're we're on a ping pong table.
And I like the fact that we're on the same side of the ping pong table.
That seems somehow fit.
Um so this language of possible worlds may not be familiar to all uh all all all um your your listeners.
Um
And I think also just just to
For someone who's not who hasn't spent a lot of time thinking about all of this, there's a lot of intuition I think that one brings to these sorts of questions.
And this is exactly what Emily's been challenging.
We have a lot of intuition from
Instinct, experience, evolutionary programming about how probabilities work.
In the case of, as Emily puts it, superficial self-looking uncertainty, the kind of probability we attach to statements that we can describe in objective third person terms without the use of uh you know, without the need to use fundamental and texticals in in in my language.
We have a lot of intuition about it, and so it just seems very natural, very natural.
to take that intuition we've developed and extend it
To these other kinds of probabilistic statements, the pure self-locating uh uh statements, especially because we often use the same language for both kinds of statements.
We often use indexicals in both kinds of statements.
It's just that because we're not aware always that the indexicals we're using in one set of statements are not as important as they are in in the case of pure cephalytic uncertainty.
So part of this is just Emily's challenging the intuition that people often appeal to.
