      to me this is one of your clearest expressions of how rationalism falls short

      I was about to say it’s the clearest example of how he doesn’t seem to get it.

      Perhaps a better analogy: why are you worried about how the boiler behaves if it gets overpressurized? Why not just focus on how well it runs the rest of the time?

      I don't really get this analogy. As I understand David, he's saying that rationalism focuses on how to maximize EV at explicit decision points, but ignores how to deal with facets of the system that don't show up as explicit choices

      What meta-rational principles are you advocating deference to when thinking of 'how to deal with facets of the system that don't show up as explicit choices'?
