I believe I understand the essay and really liked it. But it does seem to be at the intersection of more than one interesting theme. That cross section obviously is important to the author, and I feel like I got it. But I will need to re-read the essay later to see if I can identify each theme more clearly, and then better understand the convergence of ideas the author sees. For a start, maybe: - Humans are making a mess of things - Priding ourselves on the individual internal overcomplicated unreliable maps of the world we each have built, causes a great deal of this harm. - [EDIT: ADDED] This is a deeply toxic dual breakdown of both rationality and motivation/values. - Maintaining focus instead on continually getting only the most important things about the world right, would help us think more clearly and effectively. - Obtaining an explicit understanding of the subconscious values we each individually operate from, would help each us make better choices in terms of values.
