This post came across to me as mostly speculative but trying to be academic, I may well be wrong. Habryka in the other comment suggested that your claims have some grounding that I was not aware of. Additionally, I do not subscribe to the local lore of Eliezer’s contrarianism and extreme Bayesianism. The metaphor of “reality joints”, or “reality fluid”, falls flat for me, as well. If you perspective is different, then feel free to disregard my comment, it’s not like you and I can square our epistemic views in a comment thread.
