- justin66 7y agoI'm grimly curious as to whether or not you really think I'm going to read all that.
- iron0013 7y agoThis is the perfect and always perfectly accurate response whenever someone links to the Rational-sphere. On the other hand, why use few words when you could use—Jesus Christ—6,663 words instead?
- knzhou 7y agoYou mean this idea? > A moral person is someone who cooperates with other moral people, and who refuses to cooperate with immoral people. It's just so naive. A slightly cleaned up version of ordinary tribalism: "we are good and they are bad", with no further justification. Anybody can claim their own tribe is the moral one this way.
- invalidOrTaken 7y agoOh, I certainly agree. But a naive algorithm can be used to predict the opinions of the naive.
- knzhou 7y agoAh, sorry, I misunderstood you. I was mostly reacting because I remember reading that blog post when it came out and thinking it was a neat idea, and now I'm recoiling in horror at how terrible it sounds.
