@admittedlyhuman this is a question about tradeoff parameters maybe. no increase in means justifies the complete confusion of ends

@admittedlyhuman like, i don't want to be twice as effective if it means i'm effecting a completely random goal -
@admittedlyhuman so maybe that means i shouldn't want to be 1.1 times as effective to effect a 10% random goal -
@admittedlyhuman although obviously that doesn't straightforwardly follow -
@VesselOfSpirit I think part of the problem is that as you move away from the goal you become less committed to not moving away from it -
@admittedlyhuman it's like a moving away spiral. but it's a straight line instead -
@VesselOfSpirit but I'm not sure you can really knock the postrationalists on this b/c they would agree to things like "corruption is bad" -
@VesselOfSpirit rationalism proper seems the ideology more prone to optimizing itself right off a cliff - 2 more replies
