Promoted to curated: I think the content of this sequence is quite important, both for rationality and AI Alignment. I also quite appreciate the care that went into the presentation, and think the whole text is a prime example in a text that is really focusing on explaining things, instead of trying to persuade the reader of a conclusion.
I also think the last section generalizes quite well to domains other than AI Alignment. I think a lot of the best science looks like looking for fundamental confusions, in the way this sequence is doing it, and I would love to see more posts in it style for domains like Psychology, Economics and individual rationality.
