    Abstract

    Higher-order evidence is evidence about what is rational to think in light of your evidence. Many have argued that it is special - falling into its own evidential category, or leading to deviations from standard rational norms. But it is not. Given standard assumptions, almost all evidence is (in part) higher-order evidence.
