What reversal? I still think that it detracts from the overall presentation of “modern rationality” by getting people sidetracked into learning open problems in physics at a pop-sci level. Whatever points EY was trying to make there can surely be made better without it.
I meant where you said “not relevant” and Eliezer responded with “highly relevant”. It sounds to me as though he thinks it’s fundamental to rationality or something. Very confusing.
That still doesn’t seem like enough to justify the reversal from “not relevant” to “highly relevant”.
