Chapman points about meta-rationality are obviously right and correct and also somehow not taken by Eliezer or his followers. I wonder to what extent that queasiness is sociopolitical in its cause.

It's fine to focus on healing your own traumas and your own spiritual development, especially if it comes from a place of humility about the entire project. But it's not very enlightened to sneer at people who choose not to do that, and whose internal lives you know little about.
Well it could be enlightened if your version allows for asshole behaviour (mine does), but it doesn’t make it any less of a dumb way of phrasing it. But linguistic sloppiness aside, I know what silver means, even if trauma and autism are functionally distinct.

Ok, bad adjective, I was running against the 280 limit. Look, my main objection is not some abstract argument, but the dozens of happy, healthy, and productive people I know who work or donate 10% to EA/x-risk and think that the Sequences are the bees knees.

Although I just read your replies so I don’t think we’re talking about the same thing here anyway. Carry on.
