It really is a nice theory. The only defect I think it has is probably common to all philosophical theories. It's wrong. - Saul Kripke
So funny whenever you get to Ellsberg’s paradox in a decision theory class, and you have to be like, ye, that Daniel Ellsberg.

My favorite Cremieux moment was when he was praising all hell out of this paper he "recently read."
Seems interesting, let's check who wrote it, oh...

We honestly need another Scopes trial because the first one humiliated the creationists on national radio so hard they didn't even try again until the 2000s.

No: 35%

I wonder if people will be more willing to mention the Bosnia and Cambodia thing now that this is out in the open.
As we saw from that time when people thought he had died, it would have mostly been hagiographies. Not anymore!

Chomsky is pretty unlucky he didn't die before the Epstein thing came out because now his eulogies are going to be real awkward.

This post made me realize that Eliezer, despite being considered an arch-utilitarian for writing torture vs dust specks. Is just straight up a Kantian at the end of the day. He literally would rather it be more likely for an AI to kill everyone (in his worldview) than to lie.

I think some of the confusion that non-Americans get about our two party system is that the main reason it's so difficult to get a third party off the ground is that the Republican and Democratic parties are not like most political parties, they're deeply entrenched cultural institutions.

There is a scene in Red Dawn (Reagan era slop film but still kinda fun) where when the Communists invade America they're able to quash resistance by using registration records to confiscate the guns, and that kind of insane fantasy is why there is opposition to something this banal.
gonna reiterate a hobbyhorse of mine: 'let the ATF keep electronic records' is a good fight to pick on guns. it doesn't impact normie gun owners at all, it's an insane bit of GOP mandated dysfunction in government, and it's being "tough on crime" in a way that actually matters
