another service our antinatalist friends perform! normative rationalism proceeds by palming a card, reasoning to a point where an emotive judgment is elided because it's assumed to be universal; antinatalists show no such response is in fact universalhttps://twitter.com/chaosprime/status/1150605408454815745 …

...I can’t tell whether “normative rationalists” is meant to be the LessWrong cluster or something else. If it’s LW, then do you know that we already know this? It’s called the “orthogonality thesis”, which says that goals are independent of rationality.

I guess we might explicitly belief in Orthogonality while implicitly assuming its falsehood? In that case, your criticism would be valid.

by "normative rationalism" i mean the act of attempting to prescribe what should be done using pure rationality, i.e. the same thing as "Spock morality". LW incorporates a meme addressing this, yes, whether it's more operationally integrated or more lip service, idk
