Ok. I really don’t like the new omake with the ponies.
I understand that Eliezer is trying to criticize overemphasis on peer review. But the bottom line is that peer review is really important: groups of humans who look at something critically are much more likely to notice mistakes and flaws then one will notice by one’s self. This is not a trivial point.
I dislike it but not for that reason. There are so many great hooks for rationalist lessons in the actual show, but instead he makes an anvilicious alternate universe to take a cheap shot at a completely unrelated subject. It’s such a waste. I am disappointed.
Indeed, when I sat down to make a rationalist MLP fanfic, I realized that the only part of the show that I would change is possibly Feeling Pinkie Keen.
Yea. The approach to making an MLP rationalist fanfiction is not to change the original material, it’s by working within the set format to provide rationalist lessons. If done properly probably indistinguishable from the canon episode scripts except for not being in a scrip format and being about slightly more advanced subject matter.
For example, from what I’ve herd about the minicamp:
“Dear princess Celestia, today I learned that although the idea that someponies opinion of you is infuenced by somehting as arbitary and wastefull as fashion might seem unpalatable, it can non the the less be unwise to ignore the fact that it is, even amoung friends. Ponies can not always control their subconius impresions, and this is no reason to in turn judle them.
That’s awesome, now I want to see some of those! There got to be SOME that are not to personal or can be easily modified to hide to personal information, right?
I think you’re both thinking a bit too narrowly about the topic of rationalist MLP fanfiction. It needn’t be about correcting irrationalities of the original material (which I’m guessing was Vaniver’s approach?) but it doesn’t need to just follow the show’s “how to treat your friends” moral lessons either… It could introduce new readers to some really advanced LessWrong concepts.
...ooph, I don’t know if I should share the ideas I have on this or not. Because I am thinking of writing rationalist MLP fanfiction, and if so I’d prefer there’d be some surprised delight from readers.… but if I don’t end up having the time to write said fanfiction, it’s better that I share them, lest they not be known at all.
...I suppose if I don’t find the time in the next few months to write said fanfiction fully, I’ll just share all the ideas I have on the topic in some thread here and encourage anyone else who wants them to pick them up and use them.
My post wasn’t supposed to be “how all rationalist fanfiction should be made”, but rather “how I recommend Vaniver to go about it, given the evidence I have about his strengths and weaknesses as a writer”. Guess I could have worded it better.
I look greatly forward to reading your fic! In fact, since given the priors I have over LWers I guess I probably know more about MLP lore and fan conventions (remember all those things Eliezer said in MoR authors notes about the importance of fan conventions? You’d BETTER give Luna an abacus! ), I humbly offer myself up as a prereader even thou I probably suck at most editorial work given my zero experience.
Also, once you’re done, you REALLY should send it over to Equestria daily. Correcting for writing quality bronies might be an even better recruitment pool than the Harry Potter fandom, since even thou it’s smaller it’s closer to the LW demographic and I don’t think HP has a centralized hub like Equestria Daily which means greater penetration can be reached by something good enough to get on there. In fact, it may be worth having more seasoned LWers, or even Eliezer himself really, look over it for quality.
Personally I’ve found a lot of the show’s lessons to be overly one-sided and applause-lightish. Also, I like/dislike how the show dances around carnivory; I’d love to see HJPEV-Twilight (or whoever) react to Fluttershy explaining how she runs her meadow.
There’s also the world mechanics of raising the sun and why only the princesses are immortal and all that, and various smaller mysteries, but (1) lots of fic writers and theorists are probably exploring that, and (2) a lot of it is high-profile enough in the series that it stands a reasonable chance of being elaborated on there. The fact that the Potter books have concluded is one of the advantages to setting a rationalist/munchkin fic there.
There’s also the world mechanics of raising the sun
(In my planned fanfic, “Friendship is Natural Philosophy,” it turns out that heliocentrism is true, and Princess Celestia has just been pretending to raise the sun in order to maintain her grip on power.)
Personally I’ve found a lot of the show’s lessons to be overly one-sided and applause-lightish.
Of course. The issues with rewriting them to be rationalist are twofold: first, they’re primarily about friendship, where rationality is mostly silent on direct advice, and second, they’re on features where one-sided advice is generally better than two-sided advice.
Consider, for example, Twilight’s nerdy scholarship. It’s shown to be useful (it’s a major source of her magical power and she’ll often know things because of it) but have its limits (let’s learn how to do a slumber party from a book!). Which, of course, is the sort of thing you’ll find in any of lukeprog’s articles on relationships here. Rationality’s primary lesson is “learn from successful examples and build up experience” rather than “book smarts are sufficient to interact with other people in real-time.”
As an example of one-sided advice, take the lesson of Bridle Gossip:
Never judge a book by its cover. Someone may look unusual, or funny, or scary. But you have to look past that and learn who they are inside. Real friends don’t care what your “cover” is; It’s the contents of a pony that count. And a good friend, like a good book, is something that will last forever.
Obviously, appearances can provide useful information. The standard human bias, though, is to overweight appearance- and so advice to humans should generally be along the lines of “discount appearance” rather than “use appearance optimally,” because the first is harder for humans to twist than the second.
The fact that the Potter books have concluded is one of the advantages to setting a rationalist/munchkin fic there.
I personally dislike the “rationalist fic = munchkin fic” association, but suspect that is atypical of LW users.
The lessons are supposed to be simple—it’s a show for little girls after all—and any real wisdom to be found in the show lies elsewhere, mainly on a more meta level in the community rather than canon content, and even then isn’t very Deep.
There are many fan theories about carnivory, but most likely the show dancing around it is a consequence of pony society doing so. Given that she’s quite the scholar she almost certainly already knows about it, although a city pony with no biology education or experience with animals might not. I don’t think anypony would consider it all that big a deal thou or carnivores wouldn’t be around or at least not common.
Yea, it’s been explored a lot. Generaly they are considered godlike.

“Applause lights” doesn’t mean “simple” or even “wrong”; it’s more like “things that sounds good regardless of rightness or wrongness in a particular context”. Or at least that’s how it makes sense to me to use it.

Surely causal arrows point from creative decisions to show content, not the other way around. More to the point, not all ponies can dance around it; “animals (don’t) take care of themselves”, so if Fluttershy doesn’t feed the snakes they don’t eat. And she makes a regular census of at least the bunnies, meaning she might know exactly how many die when Rarity lets Opalescence out.
Given that she’s quite the scholar she almost certainly already knows about it, although a city pony with no biology education or experience with animals might not.
I can think of plots that might mitigate that, but yeah, the built-in outsider perspective is another advantage of HP.
I don’t think anypony would consider it all that big a deal thou or carnivores wouldn’t be around or at least not common.
They might see it as a lesser evil than “wiping out” whole species, or they might have the eventual goal of creating a self-sustaining ecosystem where predators would be necessary. But I think all three of those have potential. Unfortunately there’s probably not much interest in writing what would come off as a vegan author tract, even with the difference that the animals would be be sapient.
“Applause lights” doesn’t mean “simple” or even “wrong”; it’s more like “things that sounds good regardless of rightness or wrongness in a particular context”. Or at least that’s how it makes sense to me to use it.
This surprised me. The definition I’d have given for applause lights would have been “A statement so obviously the Right Thing that it provides no useful information”.
So I went back and checked the original article, and it turns out no definition was ever given, just a few examples, and those are compatible with both views and don’t fit either perfectly. So I checked your karma in case it was just a noobish mistake by me, precommited to change my mind if you had a lot more than me, but it turns out you have even less. Thus I’d say you were wrong in correcting me.
Also, the answer to your question is there anyway.
By dancing around it I meant the same way humans do with sex or the conditions in factory farms.
That doesn’t sound like something ponies would do.
The definition I’d have given for applause lights would have been “A statement so obviously the Right Thing that it provides no useful information”.
From Applause Lights: “I think it means that you have said the word “democracy”, so the audience is supposed to cheer. It’s not so much a propositional statement, as the equivalent of the “Applause” light that tells a studio audience when to clap.”
I think that depending on what you mean by “The Right Thing” (whether you mean it mockingly or actually), you’re right or wrong in your understanding of what applause lights means. But either way: the point of “applause lights” is that it’s more of a signal for mutual self-congratulation than something with actual meaning/content.
e.g. “God bless the United States of America”.
So I checked your karma in case it was just a noobish mistake by me, precommited to change my mind if you had a lot more than me, but it turns out you have even less. Thus I’d say you were wrong in correcting me.
Ugh. Seriously? You probably didn’t mean this as bad as it sounded, but it effectively looks as you’re saying he was wrong in correcting you not because he was actually wrong, but because he shouldn’t correct people with higher status (as marked by karma points).

I’m not sure if I’d go so far as to call it mocking, but I certainly meant it in a way not very correlated with actually being correct or moral.
I use total karma as evidence about how likely someone is to be correct about LW conventions, since in order to get very high karma you have to have been here for a long time and have written a lot and thus getting misunderstandings sorted out by being corrected. I also use it as weaker evidence at being correct in general about anything, since I believe LW consensus to be correlated with that. I put LW karma in roughly the same class of evidence as market prices, something which can sometimes say quite silly things but on other occasions be more trustworthy than your own brain. I could actually feel through introspection I weren’t able to consider the issue without bias so I just let that decide.
Ugh. Seriously? You probably didn’t mean this as bad as it sounded, but it effectively looks as you’re saying he was wrong in correcting you not because he was actually wrong, but because he shouldn’t correct people with higher status (as marked by karma points).
Ironically I considered noting that comment in my reply and saying something like “Respect for recognizing noisy evidence as evidence.”.
You probably didn’t mean this as bad as it sounded, but it effectively looks as you’re saying he was wrong in correcting you not because he was actually wrong, but because he shouldn’t correct people with higher status (as marked by karma point).
I suspect that he meant something like “Applause Lights” is an LW specific term. Therefore, to a very rough approximation, karma levels may be a rough way of estimating who understands how the term is used around here since karma roughly approximates how much time someone has spent here.
That seems like an extremely weak argument, and I agree that the way it was phrased sounded pretty bad. I don’t think my interpretation is that much better.
“Applause lights” doesn’t mean “simple” or even “wrong”; it’s more like “things that sounds good regardless of rightness or wrongness in a particular context”. Or at least that’s how it makes sense to me to use it.
This surprised me. The definition I’d have given for applause lights would have been “A statement so obviously the Right Thing that it provides no useful information”.
Then allow me to step in as one of the foremost experts on the writings of Eliezer (self-proclaimed).
All that applause lights ‘mean’ is “you should clap now”. From the wiki:
It’s not so much a propositional statement, as the equivalent of the “Applause” light that tells a studio audience when to clap.
(Beware—this example is mind-killing)
Thus, you say “democracy” to get people to nod their head and agree with you. This is not because “democracy” means anything obviously right; also, the label gets applied inconsistently in both directions. The entire purpose of calling something “democracy” in those contexts is to mark it as “approved”.
I was correcting your interpretation of my use of the phrase, not your use of it. (On further thought I could reword it “words whose practical meaning is ‘applaud this statement’”; that might cover both.)
That doesn’t sound like something ponies would do.
Not sure which you mean, but I know there’s contradictory evidence to what I cited. I don’t think I want to talk about the “reality” of the show, though, just possible fanfic interpretations. My belief about the show is that it’ll continue to dance around the subject, and that the occasional slips will continue to contradict each other.
I find discussing “possible” interpretations to be rather pointless because basically anything is possible. There are usually 3 interpretations worth going into any depth of; the one intended by the original author, the one that has become fanon and most fans are in consensus about, and the one that would be most likely if the cannon material was interpreted as true observations about the universe.
Ok, since interest in rationalist MLP is starting to blossom again, my thoughts are straying back to my The Elements of Rationality project that was discontinued some time ago as I realized how much the stuff I had done sucked, and by now I have much better knowledge and tools such that it is more likely to result in somehting slightly less embarasing.
So, input the pony/accessory/pose code under the body/accessorize/pose>advanced tab in the pony creator to see it. Oh, and the cutie marks don’t work in the string export for obvious reasons, so for those you’ll have to wait until I upload images, if I ever do.

Here’s what I’ve got so far from playing around with it: Pony Code: 332S0P01003D42D19EFEE40200000D5FEUP173700002000001000000FE000000107F3FCC004CB2 Accessory Code: 066CC6606677CCFCC0000066CC66100000004E8FBAFFFF8C066CC66066CC66066CC66066CC66 Pose Code: 000247046080267056037000000324000000314043014331
Downvoted for extreme irrelevance. Sorry, I can’t find any possible excuse for posting this here without explanation.
Can’t tell if serious.
Because I also posted pony codes? Those were part of a somewhat serious art project based on the twelve virtues of rationality. Normal Anomalys post on the other have is basically indistinguishable from random playing around.
Well, so many of the omake are already pretty anvilicious. But yes, it could be more directly relevant to the show certainly.
Ponies? What are you talking about?
Eliezer added a new omake to chapter 64 which involves a rationalist version of My Little Pony.
