“You could build a mind that thought that 51 was a prime number but otherwise had no defect of its intelligence – if you knew what you were doing” —@ESYudkowsky
Is it possible build a mind able to learn but incapable of correcting this error? (Why?)

They're not incapable of correcting that error though. It's just harder for them

No, it's weird. I think that a big part of the enduring civilizational downfall after the end of the Roman empire was the destruction of the capacity for individual rationality by organized religion. Most people have no agency over their world view, and confusion is the default.

That's exactly not the startling claim I was making. Humans are generally nuts. I'm claiming that a perfected technology of mind could create a mind that was generally sane and specifically nuts.

Sorry, I did not read carefully enough. Eliezer, are you not that specifically perfected mind?

No, the sort of mind being discussed is one in which only a single defect exists.
