I tried to make @ESYudkowsky's IQ 100 and see what he would be like, but I was thwarted literally 4 out of 4 times. (These are less funny because there is zero cherry-picking.)

Bureaucratic rationalism and identitarian leftism, two malignant alien superintelligences, speak through university administrators as puppets. No one has to โ€œreally believe inโ€ either of these ideologies to be used by them (and probably no one does).

Imagine an experiment to reverse a personโ€™s perception of the world. It would feed the subject images in inverse proportion to their true frequency, often commonly showing rare things and rarely showing common things.

1/3 There is a benefit from getting students at the top end of the IQ range to take courses they can't handle (sadly, no such courses exist in the social sciences and humanities). A lot of these kids would benefit from being intellectually humiliated.

Is there a benefit to people (across a range of IQs) competing in colleges and learning about academic rigor (varying, yes) and their abilities/tastes/motivations and other peopleโ€™s for academic rigor? Corollary: a benefit of affirmative action is โ€ฆ

schools should include a class called Truth Is Hard, where u get bombarded with examples of confused eyewitnesses, incorrect public outrages, studies that failed to replicate, super convincing arguments that fall apart with one additional fact u didn't expect, etc.

Part of the reason everyone has united in resisting Russia is that Russia seems comparatively weak. If it were another country (I mention no names), many more people would hedge.

One of the biggest culture shocks for me is when I am out in the world and realize that asking someone โ€œhow do you know that?โ€ after they make a claim is widely considered offensive. This makes me pretty sad.

36. And I wonder a lot of stuff related to that is why a lot of people who are care a lot about things being true also have โ€œexecutive function issuesโ€

I've mentioned this before, but... In the Moray Firth fishermen used to be carried out and back from the boats on the backs of their wives, to keep their feet dry. While common practice in the 1720s, it held on until the 1930s at Embo, Sutherland! #OldWeirdScotland
