"To put it super crudely it's a sort of disagreement with the idea that informal rationality is just an approximation to the math instead of the other way around." - Srijit Sanyal gives the best one-line description of @Meaningness's views I've heard. Or at least I thought so?
Maybe this sounds similar to @ESYudkowsky’s toolbox vs Law distinction? Which I’m still not sure I understand.

Something I’ve realized only in the last ~year is that
@ESYudkowsky is not a typical rationalist, and has a distinctive viewpoint (which I don’t quite get). I understand typical rationalists, including most LWers, fully. They don’t seem to realize he’s got a different take!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
