This might seem like a nitpick, but it's fundamental to why I enjoy CFAR rationality, and can't handle more universalizing rationalisms. The emphasis on personal choice, freedom, diversity, flexibility, idiosyncrasy, personalization, individual empowerment, etc is really central.

I think that much of the best work of the LW-derived community is “meta-rational” as I define that. The book is supposed to explain why that is a good thing.

Oh that is different then, yeah! I don’t think the Greeks were that focused on EV-maximization. (Idk what your book is about, but it might not make sense to try and lump us together, given how different we are, even though we use the same word)

The book is about “meta-rationality”—but that means it has to include an account of “rationality” as well. It will have nothing to say about LW-style rationalism specifically. A bit about probability theory, which may or may not apply. Book prospectus:https://meaningness.com/eggplant
