As I’ve said elsewhere, I’m not convinced that the goal of having correct beliefs on the topics addressed in the Sequences will be cost-effectively approached by introducing new contrarians to LW. It would likely be more cost-effective to identify some thinkers we collectively esteem and hire them to perform a “peer review” on those topics.
That said, I’m not sure I see what the point of that would be either, since it’s not like EY is going to edit the Sequences regardless of what the reviewers say. It might be even more cost-effective to hire reviewers for his book before he publishes it.
See Wei Dai’s comment here—he doesn’t value controversy qua controversy.
Mm.
Fair enough.
