Frequency probability interprets the concept of probability as a frequency or a physical property of a system.

The conflict is due the false assumption that we can separate the observed and the observer.

If we abandon that assumption and form a system containing both the observed and the observer, “a measure of a state of knowledge” is one of the physical properties of the system. Frequency probability and Bayesian probability have the same meaning.

退化論

高中年代 2

這段改編自 2010 年 3 月 6 日的對話。

大部分工作的性質是,繁複沉悶而反智。只要工作了三年,就足以把讀書時期所累積的智力消除。

幸好,當年我辭了職,返回校園讀書,防止了腦部的完全退化。如果我連續十年也工作的話,後果不堪設想。可能我以後再也不可以用腦部思考了。

當年,我重新過學生生活,只需不到幾日,就發覺我中學時代的靈魂,回來再次依附於我的身體之中。突然由一個年老人,變身成為一個年青人。
