There's 3-4 million police encounters per year, so the odds of an unarmed person being killed per encounter are roughly 1 : 100,000 If you're not resisting arrest etc, it becomes infinitesimal. Cities are being burned to the ground over sub-"killed by lightning" levels of danger https://twitter.com/ZaidJilani/status/1276319583675260934 …

By the way, since the rationalists are in the news, how much time have rationalists spent discussing this? Have they come out against 2020 BLM as fraud? The stats aren't that hard to break down, if you spend just a few minutes with them. Seems like a wonderful bias to overcome

Someone should ask Eliezer to use his rationalist superpowers to analyze it.

Got this far; the guy is a complete dope; not stupid just mindkilled and desperate to validate a stupid frame possibly out of ignorance more likely out of callous disregard for reality when it bumps up against his (blue) tribe's taboospic.twitter.com/moqvc1RifC

That piece is a dispatch from an alternate universe where police go around sleuthing to discover the perpetrators of crimes - which are extraordinary events that people take when desperate to achieve their aims but can't do so within the law. Out of touch with reality entirely.

A bit further down more total and complete disconnect with reality. People in jail for "drug offenses" aren't harmless - they're there b/c you can intimidate witnesses but not police chemists. The last "reform" wave made prosecuting actual crime impossible.pic.twitter.com/0SIVvMmm2b

Think about it this way - does that piece read like from one that shares a reality with the existence of a "serial random attacker"? Odd isn't it? "Serial random attacker" is not something you'd think would exist in the world Yudkowski wants to reformhttps://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/disturbing-video-shows-random-attack-hydrant-head-smash-of-92-year-old-woman-in-manhattan/2466659/ …
