> No, there probably aren't an infinity of priors with each person having a different one. Probably most people who live in the US in 2023 believe that murder is bad, for instance.
Ok, let's give you on shared belief of "murder is bad." Ignoring both the "in the US" qualifier and the existence of murderers amongst us, thought experiments about "would you kill Hitler before he came to power", the death penalty, etc.
Don't you now have to exhaustively categorize every other belief that a person might take into account in reasoning too?
Seems far more likely that everyone's unique upbringing causes them to have slightly-to-wildly different weights on things.
