right but you're again using a picture theory of language lol. it's just the case that for the relevant community at large that's the official story about what it means, but also 'we all know what it actually means wink wink'

I... don't know what it's supposed to actually mean? I think it just means what I said it means?

right, the point is, rationality-as-in-the-Sequences might be what cfar does. but cfar advertises rationality which dereferences to something else than rationality-as-in-the-Sequences.

Thanks, that's more clear. Still not sure how exactly you mean, though? Like if I go to http://rationality.org and click on "About", the copy that they advertise themselves with could be right from the Sequences.pic.twitter.com/s3Mb2qZLDi

Or wait, do you mean that rationality-in-the-Sequences in the first place, is different from what people mean by "rationality"?

Ok so, in historical order: (1) Rationality-in-the-sequences (2) what people come to believe (1) is (3) rationality-as-taught-by-cfar you claim (3) = (1). I believe that. What I'm saying is (2) [called by the users "rationality"] =! (1). And thus, following what you said =! (2)

Okay. But if (3) = (1), then there are people (e.g. CFAR instructors) who come to believe that (1) is (1) and not (2). And if they are teaching (1), it seems weird that they should say "we teach (1), but some people misunderstood (1), so we're going to call it something else".

I don't think it's weird? It's like yep people def. misunderstood (1) so because in most people's mind 'rationality' means (2) instead of (1) we'll just use a new name to make it clear!

But i mean yea eliezer calling it the same name as the philosophy of descartes and spinoza was not brilliant in terms of preventing confusion either

you can blame economists for that one, the field of rationality research has had its name for far longer than yud has been writing
