I know it’s in jest, but honestly… let’s be especially careful about that. Right now everyone can see you’re joking; but human organizations degenerate into cults with astounding regularity. It’s a good idea to keep in mind at least one thing you can think of that any given authority figure has gotten wrong.
So find at least one thing, preferably something important, but better something trivial than nothing at all, that Eliezer has said, which you believe to be false. I could tell you mine, but then you’d just be taking me on authority.
Is it just me or do others too notice that the quality of comments and dialog here is much higher than on most blogs?
It turns out that all the people who think otherwise have already left… :) But I agree with you! All hail Cultmaster Eliezer!
