Published: 01 July 2022
...Yoaav Isaacs; John Hawthorne; Jeffrey Sanford Russell Is the fact that our universe contains fine-tuned life evidence that we live in a multiverse?

... sometimes do regard believing in the absence of evidence as, say, morally or prudentially acceptable. But there's still something wrong with believing that way.
