something that particularly jumped out at me was the mention of biases in relation to the jury trial. Since we know that people are prone to making these types of errors consistently lawyers can take advantage of it. Is there any reason to think that professional rationalists wouldn't make better jurors than "a jury of peers"?
- yters 18y agoA problem with rationalists is that to make oneself truly rational they have to somewhat kill their instinctive, spirited side. But, the instinctive, spirit side is based on millions of years of evolution. So, the rationalist is missing out on a massive chunk of life. A good combo is Kirk/Spock, Hamlet/Horatio.
