@VitalikButerin is there a collection of links to all your writing? I’d like to see a list that includes “Credible Neutrality”, “Change the Incentives, Change the World”, and any other scattered stuff I may have missed.
@seanmcarroll
I'd really love to share “Does This Ontological Commitment Make Me Look Fat?” by itself. Can you release it a podcast episode or something?
@juliagalef@seanmcarroll You two agreed that many beliefs resist updating in isolation--they will only update in unison with a larger cluster, in a "phase transition". How deep does that metaphor go? What concrete phenomena does it evoke for you?
@DavidDeutschOxf I read about Russel’s inductivist chickens in FoR. I went and rechecked ET Jaynes’s “poorly informed robot” in his Probability textbook. Are these characters different? The only disagreement I can discern is whether to label the behavior “induction” or not.
@s_r_constantin How do you feel about the stuff in "Naming the Nameless"--particularly, the section on æsthetics and politics--in light of pandemic-related migration and demographic transition?
“But generally I aim to write in a relaxed, friendly and straightforward manner.”
I get that, @everytstudies, I really do, but would you please reconsider the oxford comma?
@tristanharris does humane/empowering tech somehow the lack promise of profit? I would pay so much for the kind of features you describe. Why is no one trying to sell me a less addictive smartphone? Genuinely stumped...
@samharrisorg Nick Bostrom offered a debiasing technique called "Hypothetical Apostasy", which is sort of a high-effort devil's advocacy. Any chance you might try it and talk about the results? https://t.co/52b5MUmbxv
@ericweinstein I'd like to hear you and Bryan Caplan argue about immigration policy. Any plans for something like this? Or does anything like this exist already?
