Amplifying what you've said, Bayesianism not only makes traditional epistemological positions obsolete, but raises a whole bunch of new problems. As well as "where do you get your priors", there's the whole question of bounded and differential awareness, which takes up most of my theoretical attention.

I've decided to update my priors based on the fact that when I present people with objects, and prompt them to theorize what category it way be a part of, assuming they don't run away, they will typically assign a category, correctly or incorrectly. Therefore, most people are category theorists, and I can safely assume that anyone I am asked about is probably a category theorist.
