  1. "This is bad because" = OK. "Don't disagree that this is bad" = not OK. Yes, you can go meta on my assertions here.

  2. Does low group morale being a thing make evolutionary sense?

  3. ("*Where* our wishes cohere rather than interfere", i.e., that need not be everywhere.)

  4. E.g., lots of value convergence (under *what* notion of extrapolation, anyway?) isn't actually an assumption of CEV.

  5. Deleted last tweets because I don't want to promote (in myself or others) argument about details over careful thought about CEV.

  6. When the facts change, I curse God, pray for death and rend my garments. What do you do?

  7. "runner" "writer" "nice guy" "Good person"

  9. Nick Tarleton followed , , and 2 others

  10. Probably a large extent in explicitly authoritarian regimes, but the NSA might not want to think of itself that way.

  11. Unsure to what extent mass surveillance itself is about these things / to what extent this is acknowledged by surveillers.

  12. *No one* acknowledges this, AFAIK. If they did, the discourse could be much better.

  13. Worry about mass surveillance is (very often) about social monitoring and conformity, not surveillance.
