As I understand it you are criticizing Yudkowski’s ideology. But MrMind wants to hear our opinion on whether or not Scott and Yudkowski’s reasoning was sound, given their ideologies.
I’m not trying to criticize Yudkowki’s ideology. It seems to be basically Sailor Moon’s. I wish him the best, and will benefit vastly if it works out for him.
I’m saying that when he talks about the people who supported Trump, (“People who voted for Trump are unrealistically optimists,”) he is making a factual error.
His comment could be read as “people who voted for D. Trump and share my values are excessively optimistic about his chances of implementing them ”. I think that’s credible, given that he context was P. Thiel’s support.
