LOL, I don’t care about downvotes, and I capitalize for emphasis, not to appear “cool” to accounts in cyberspace. I don’t care if you think my comments are “bad”. My comments are either right or wrong. It doesn’t matter whether you or anyone thinks they’re good/bad. It doesn’t matter whether you or anyone upvotes/downvotes them.
My assertions are CORRECT, and counter to Eliezer. That’s reason enough to make them.
Not sure why you’re mentioning ego depletion, but it’s not “dubious”, it’s something without any substantial evidence it exists. The existence of the celestial teapot isn’t “dubious”, just like the existence of pseudoscience like willpower depletion isn’t “dubious”. We (rational minds) have a duty to not even consider not-real things until we get sufficient evidence.
I’m re-reading the whole site. That a post is 13 years old is irrelevant. All the assertions in posts, new and old, need to be true. We’re on LW, after all.
