| This is a philosophical discourse (intended as a parody, but I swear
I've read serious papers that were very much like it) in which the
author argues that probablity theory makes no sense since it is not
describing anything about the real world but only our own
misconceptions about it. It appears in the very strange book "A
Perfect Vacuum". The entire book is interesting, in a
self-referential sort of way. This "article", and all of the others
in the book, are written as book reviews (of non-existent books). In fact, the introduction
to the book is a review of this book itself. (The reviewer did not
like it.) |
