What if we disagree on whether “the correct metaphilosophy is that there is no way of assessing object level philosophical arguments”?
If the correct metaphilosophy is that you can assess object level arguments …then you can assess the object level arguments in the sequences....contra your original claim.
But suppose some other Less Wrong commenter disagrees with me; what then?
Then you can’t assess object level correctness. But you can still fix the overconfidence.
You have the option of rewriting the sequences to withdraw or tone down the disputed claims.
