      7. Here's the weird thing - my priors on whether or not to trust the experience revealed by these 'alternative' techniques are mostly correlated with my degree of Openness. As my Openness has increased, I've relaxed my priors and I find the techniques more meaningful.

      8. The 'trustability' of any technique is subjective. When I experiment with new rat. techniques, they aren't scientifically proven, but my priors suggest a reasonable chance they would work. When I subjectively experience them working, I take that as evidence and update

      9. Imagine if whole patterns of priors could be shifted by adopting a different system of belief.

      10. Folks in the #Skeptic Community would have strong priors against anything that seemed "Woo". Folks in the #Psychedelic Community would have lower priors in general. Older people naturally seem to have higher priors than young people.

      11. As a rationalist, am I privileging my own pattern of priors? 🧐 Yes. And I can describe the algorithms that lead to mathematically optimal priors. 🤩

      12. The metarational perspective understands how subjective any one pattern of priors is, and asks us to consider a wider range of possible priors. "Under this perspective, what would I consider reasonable?" 🤔

      13. I'm now noticing an explore vs exploit trade-off here - sticking to the Rationality system is exploiting something I believe is 'optimal'. Trying on other ontological systems is exploratory - it might reveal new ways of knowing, but it takes time/effort.

      14. The #metarational ability to truly try on other systems of thought, and use them to gain new perspectives, has been a richly rewarding experience. Even my #rational system approves 😃👍

      Aside: Is it bad twitter etiquette to jump into a #letterwiki conversation to ~agree with the first person before the second has had a chance to respond? I'm really looking forward to following this thread and continue chirping from this peanut gallery! @peternlimberg @Ideopunk

      Side Q: If the show has no violence restrictions, how do the elements rank for combat? Imo fire, water, and air tie for internal body damage, so casting distance and visibility wins fights.
