It does not seem like this writer is aware of the Von Neumann–Morgenstern utility theorem. There are criticisms one can level against utility as a concept, but the central question ends up being which of those axioms do you disagree with and why? For example, Garabrant’s Geometric Rationality is a great counter if you’re looking for one.
Edit: I notice that all of your previous posts have been of this same format, and they all consistently receive negative karma. You should probably reconsider what you post to this forum.
Furthermore it’s pretty basic flaws by LW standards, like the “map/territory” which is the first post in the first sequence. I don’t think “discussing basic stuff” is wrong by itself, but doing so by shuttling in someone else’s post is sketch, and when that post is also some sort of polemical countered by the first post in the first sequence on LW it starts getting actively annoying.
