I like asking why I ought to be rational.
Another approach is you can always appeal to the zeroth principles.

Because truth is intrinsically and instrumentally valuable.
If the same thing happens to one of you guys please call me and Iâll be happy to post a mere $250 million.

I got an âAâ from a famous philosopher on a paper arguing that the âproblem of deductionâ was similar to the problem of induction (that is, ungrounded outside itself). I basically borrowed, with attribution, the discussion from Godel, Escher, Bach where the tortoise and the hare argue about If A then B; A; therefore ???. I think the argument is borrowed from Lewis Carroll.
I think one big problem of Yudkowsky is that he didnât go to college and wasnât forced to write random papers on various topics on demand, so he never developed guardrails for his thinking. Sure he, like Skanlansky, is smart, but he was never âcheckedâ by the system. Basically, an untrained athlete (a mediocre wrestler with two years of experience will beat any stud).

Another great Levine newsletter today.
I thought I was getting it for free via email, but now when I click on the email it doesnât allow me to view the column. As solid as they are, not subbing to Bloomberg just for Levineâs takes.
Let the interview tour begin again!

Goddammit thatâs so dumb. Harry Potter is one of the few stories that does time travel in a nonidiotic non-create a new universe way. Fuck me for having an opinion on this
