The current research suggests that characterizing individuals as pursuing noninstrumental or useless information may be overstated. Through a series of experim...

Reasonable Ultrafilters, Again

We continue investigations of reasonable ultrafilters on uncount-able cardinals defined in Shelah [8]. We introduce stronger properties of ul-trafilters and we show that those properties may be handled in λ–support iterations of reasonably bounding forcing notions. We use this to show that consistently there are reasonable ultrafilters on an inaccessible cardinal λ with generating system of siz...

1 Beyond reasonable doubt

T he Internet is a wonderful research tool. With the click of a mouse, you can beam yourself into what seems an infinite number of important lectures by eminent thinkers around the world. Just such an opportunity awaits if you search for Richard A. Muller, professor of physics at the University of California, berkeley. The results of such a search include a video of Professor Muller castigating...

These possible constraints can be intertwined and inform one another. In this position paper we set aside all except the third constraint: community norms. We do not mean to dimi...
