It is imho a disorganized article that burps up some interesting points from Scott Siskind's review of Julia Galef's book (linked in the article) and a few other places. There's not really a central point made, except maybe that certain cognitive distortions reinforce other distortions. I read the book review itself a week or so ago and having that in the background probably helped make sense of the article. I do like reading Siskind (aka Scott Alexander), at least in small doses, and it may be more worthwhile to read his stuff directly. His stuff is longwinded but usually stays on its topic. The racehorses article is more like free association.
