would it be useful for me to wade into the rationality/ea wars swamp
@Kerapace what parts of it do you see as the most important? i don't distrust ey/miri, at least in the way that critics do

@VesselOfSpirit there's criticism of MIRI, criticism of the QM sequence you'll be aware of if you've been remotely keyed-in to LW politics.. -
@VesselOfSpirit in the past 5 years, criticism of Bayesian epistemology that's kinda like David Chapman's blog -
@VesselOfSpirit and, obviously, a lot of personal criticism of EY as a crank. I knew some of it, but a lot was eye-opening -
@VesselOfSpirit if you're going to pick something, Hallquist's been writing good antiLW posts. I liked ogingat but he deleted his account -
@Kerapace so do you mean "important" in the sense that reading them should change my mind about whether miri/eliezer is good or bad? -
@Kerapace i think i've read most of what you're referring to and wasn't impressed by it -
@Kerapace but the question, i guess, is whether there's any point to me adding yet another opinion to the mix -
@VesselOfSpirit probably not. I think most people have already made themselves clear and won't change their minds except on minutiae - 1 more reply
