      It's one of the most obnoxious shticks of Bay Area rationalism Use a metaphor to do the opposite of what a metaphor should do and make a simple idea *more complicated* so it sounds cooler and gets you clicks

      Like Eliezer Yudkowsky's obnoxious habit of saying shit like "The Evaporative Cooling of Group Beliefs" to mean groups getting more extreme in their opinions as time passes and moderate members lose interest

      "Evaporative cooling" isn't about things evaporate AS they cool; it's the phenomenon where you can lower a local temperature significantly below ambient temp by causing water to evaporate, because water absorbs a lot of heat in order to evaporate.

      EY's interpretation of how this works as "the hottest molecules carry the heat away with them as they evaporate" is... not correct I mean whatever, I'm not a physicist either, but the core metaphor he's relying on here is this really bad oversimplification

      I mean, i'm not a physicist either, but the molecules don't CARRY the … heat … what? WHAT? Heat is not a THING! You can't CARRY it?

      The heat gets ABSORBED as energy that fuels the evaporative process. And even THAT's an oversimplification. But … just … WHAT? i apparently never read that one, or noped out because it was too fucking stupid for me.

      To be fair to EY the metaphor may have gone into enough detail that the physics worked out this way Like the idea is that the people who have the most "potential to leave" a group by definition are more likely to leave the group first

          Scott actually had a much better metaphor for this whole phenomenon, loath as i am to give him credit for anything. He said something like "if your community is explicitly anti-witch-hunt, you're going to end up with a lot of witches."

          Which is true! It's just that he thinks that's a value-neutral observation, which is of course ridiculous.
