    Patri Friedman Retweeted Julia Galef

    Endorsing unpopular ideas is often dangerous, even when correct. Most people are rightly scared of it. They are expressing/signaling their instinct to avoid that danger. It's a rationalist conceit to interpret them as estimating probabilities.https://twitter.com/juliagalef/status/941422389790777345 …

    I'm surprised by how many ppl have told me they don't think there exist any "unpopular but correct" ideas. Past generations were wrong about lots of things in science, ethics, etc; what's the chance we just happen to be the first ones to have figured *everything* out correctly?

        Their mind also leaps to the worst possible scenarios. I doubt this assumption covers views that are as mundane as viewing sugar as an addictive poison. People assume they are being asked which ideas outside the Overton window are correct.

        This is the meta-correct observation that I'm surprised Julia did not catch. Or perhaps she's intentionally pretending not to get it to bait this sort of response out of someone like you. :-)

        Maybe estimating the probability of being shunned or cast out for expressing these unpopular ideas?
