That's what drew me to the idea of 'lesswrong'; an acknowledgement that we all kinda suck at this and your argument is almost certainly wrong in some way, but if we approach with good intentions and open minds, at least the arguments will be _interesting_.
- causality0 6y agoLessWrong is another altar at which your worship should include a grain of salt. They have quite a lot of great articles but they often fail to do a sanity check when their conclusions become ridiculous. See also, the Roko's basilisk stupidity.
