A very enigmatic essay. The ideas I extracted so far: The mind has a fundamental capacity for ranking possibilities according to some order; meaning, value, and rationality, despite their apparent differences, are all examples of this faculty of ranking in action; cognition consists of merging different rankings (‘amalgamation of biases’); discovering the rules of this amalgamation, is the key to AI alignment.
I agree with this summary. The idea’s that any human-like thinking (or experience) looks similar on all levels/in all domains and it’s simple enough (open to introspection). If it’s true, then there’s some easy way to understand human values.
If nothing happens in the discussion of this post, my next post may be about a way to analyze human values (using the idea of “merging biases”). It will be way shorter. It will be inspired by Bodily autonomy, but my example won’t be political.
