Thanks for the post, it is a helpful disjunction of possibilities and set of links to prior discussion.
I think that the post would be clearer if instead of sections called “Why I think we might be in this world” it had section with the same content called “Links to where people have discussed being in this world” or something similar. I’m not really sure why you use the title you do, it threw me for a bit.
When I say that “I think we are in this world”, I don’t mean that I agree with this case for HRAD work; it just means that this is what I think MIRI people think.
According to this definition, “Links to where people have discussed being in this world” would mean that the links should be to people making arguments that MIRI people believe X, rather than that X is true.
