It is likely that the rationality oft named is not the true name of the thing. Or “just be a perfect bayesian agent lol” is not practical. But that does actually mean anything legible is immediately false?
“Anything legible is immediately false“ is actually a pretty good tagline—I may use that in the future. In truth, I’d usually say “misleadingly incomplete” or “implies false boundaries” rather than the simple “immediately false”.
In this case, I more specifically meant to gesture at the idea that these techniques and framings are tools to use in seeking rationality, not the goal of rationality.
Oh, and to signal my wit in the reuse of a core Taoist saying. Maybe that was primary. I think it worked, at least in self-signaling to make me feel clever.
Upvoted, but be aware.
The rationality that can be named is not the true rationality.
Witty, but I feel like that is not actually true?
