Macroscopic decoherence (and therefore many worlds) is a straightforward prediction of the Schrödinger equation. It's not something you can just dismiss as imaginary.

Saying "Yeah it's sort of like religion all over again just in a different context" is sort of like a religion, but in a different context. It seems that making grand dismissals is more or less inescapable, and in the end we

Yes. I was very impressed with the style. Though Ceglowski is very charitable with his money, if not with his analysis of AI risk.

Technological advancement has been responsible for most of the increases in human welfare, most notably allowing us to (at least temporally) escape the Malthusian condition. It's not implausible that technical research likely to be neg

They really are meaningful. How about we make a deal? You read Intelligence: All That Matters and I'll read The Mismeasure of Man again.

Not impossible but much, much, much more plausible with embryos. Modifying billions of neurons is a very, very tall order, and would likely be much less effective after the brain is grown. Embryo selection and modification are almost doab

Nope. Genetic engineering works far, far better. We've already plucked the low hanging fruit of adequate nutrition, early education, salt iodization, and lead reduction. Anyway, those reduce mental retardation, they don't improve

I agree with this, but not a popular opinion. Hence the down votes you are getting. Korea and China don't have the same memetic immune response to such ideas, injecting one's children with growth hormone in hope of increasing futu

It's polygenic, like height. People who I read in the space of cognitive genomics, such as Steve Hsu and Razib Khan, agree it's looking increasingly plausible. It would require modifying hundreds of alleles. Embryo selection is po

The patent system remains absurd. I have mixed feeling about biotechnology, though. On one hand I'm a big fan of human genetic engineering for increased IQ which is looking extremely possible in the near future (hopefully something tha

The upper classes do have higher average IQ, an effect which is more pronounced the more meritocratic the society. Yes, there are lots of stupid rich people and tons of smart impoverished people, but we are talking about averages here. As m
