-"I ought to accept ... within the conceptual boundaries" is a betrayal of everything we stand for
-
-(I don't consider "if it'll save someone's life" to be a compelling consideration here, for the same reason that "What if Omega punishes all agents who don't choose the alphabetically first option?" doesn't seem like a compelling argument against timeless decision theory. Specifying punishments for agents that don't follow a particular ritual of cognition doesn't help us understand the laws that make intelligence work.)
-
-when _yet another_ (higher-profile, but more careful, this time only committing the error by Grecian implicature rather than overtly—if you're being careful to disclaim most obvious misinterpretations) people comitting the fallacy, I _flipped out_
-
-The sheer number of hours we invested in this operation is _nuts_: desperate all-out effort, arguing over email with two ppl who were higher-status than me and fighting an entire Discord server three times, $1000, three postcards
-
-what about _my_ mental health?
-
-Men who wish they were women do not particularly resemble actual women? We just—don't? This seems kind of obvious, really?
-
-my friend thinks I'm naive to have expected such a community—she was recommending "What You Can't Say" in 2009—but in 2009, we did not expect that _whether or not I should cut my dick off_ would _become_ a politicized issue, which is new evidence about the wisdom of the original vision
-
-but if my expectations (about the community) were wrong, that's a problem with my model; reality doesn't have to care
-
-it's naive to think you can win against an egregore 1000 times bigger than you
-
-MASSIVE cognitive dissonance, "What? What???"
-
-the Church
-
-won't you be embarrassed to leave if we create utopia
-
-invent a fake epistemology lesson
-
-we live in a world where reason doesn't work
-
-_not_ gaslight me about the most important thing in my life?
-
-I don't think I'm setting my price for joining particularly high here?
-
-if you're doing systematically correct reasoning, you should be able to get the right answer even on things that don't matter
-
-There could be similarly egregious errors that I'm not as sensitive too
-
-I don't think you can build an aligned superintelligence from a culture this crazy
-
-it's not fair to expect ordinary people to understand the univariate fallacy before they're allowed to say "men aren't women"
-
-maybe S. was trying to talk about "legal fiction" categories, but I'm trying to talk about epistemology, and that's a probable reading when you say "categories"
-
-Hansonian mental illness that people should be less accomodating of
-
-there has to be a way to apply a finite amount of effort to _correct_ errors, and possibly even profit from correcting errors
-
-(I'm not making this up! I _couldn't_ make this up!)

-the frame in which I'm
-
-outside view hobby-horse
-
-standards
-
-cognitive dissonance
-
-smart people clearly know
-
-free-speech norms
-
-I'll be alright. Just not tonight.
-
-maybe 50,000 years from now we'll all be galatic superminds and laugh about all this
