The way this is written, the syncretic allusions to different subject matter, the obsession with Bayes... I feel like I'm a teenager reading LessWrong articles

The way this is written, the syncretic allusions to different subject matter, the obsession with Bayes... I feel like I'm a teenager reading LessWrong articles about cognitive biases again. :')
- nomel 4y agoCould you expand on that a bit?
- whatshisface 4y agoA huge fraction of LessWrong articles are actually about current events politics, but since you can't talk about current events on that website they mainly just allude to it while describing how they think their ideology should apply to interpreting it. (I know they don't consider it an ideology but that's just the word that describes it best.)
- bombcar 4y agoIf you go back in time and read "current events politics" is kind of amazingly sad how little it all matters.
