No criticism implied. I’m just having fun with a counterfactual. The feel good bubble was mine as much as anybody’s. “Wouldn’t it be nice—oh wait, but ten they’d need to … and they’d end up having to convert Hitler …”. Heh. And now I’m wondering what a nation of sudden rationalists would do with a Nazi war machine if they had one—dismantle it? Or fight someone? (Sorry, I know I’m hijacking a bit. Threaded replies should defend the main discussion, anyhow.)
There was no feel-good bubble—I listed 5 as being the obviously impossible extreme of “promote maximally accurate beliefs”
