Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is one book that changed my life a lot more than I expected when picking it up. In many ways, it left me a different person.
- cm2012 9y agoHave to agree here. It has a unique and valuable worldview.
- a_bonobo 9y agoit's interesting with Yudkowsky - I've never met a person who's lukewarm about his writing, you either love it or hate it. Personally I hate it - it's condescending, weirdly tone-deaf, scientistic (is that the adjective of scientism?), without a trace of human warmth, and way too verbose and over-long to keep me interested. Then again, opinions clearly vary.
- cm2012 9y agoI am lukewarm about it. Lots of things to hate. But you have to admit he comes at things differently than most people.
