Ignorant but still confident that two outcomes are better than one. When ignorance should be additive.

Abstract
Across the history of philosophy we find arguments dealing with certain issues whose truth-value we completely ignore. A classic representation of our epistemic state of ignorance – from objective bayesians – is to assign the same degree of belief to each possibility. Others, instead, are critical of this representation for a number of reasons, and advocate for suspension of judgement. Which is the correct representation of ignorance bears on the soundness of certain important arguments in the history of philosophy. In this talk I survey both positions with an example. Then I will propose that there is not a unique best representation of our doxastic attitudes simpliciter. Instead, the choice of the appropriate representation is relative. The validity of both accounts suggests that in the  meta-epistemological discussions about the appropriate representational frameworks of our doxastic attitudes, pluralism is the correct view.
