Could you point to where he claims there is no truth?
The OP says:
Jed says that after going through this process long enough, you will wind up with the answer that there is no truth.
and
In some sense the rationality community is clinging on to the semantic stopsign of bayes rule and empiricism, while Jed lights even those on fire and declares truth as non-existent.
So if you disagree with that reading, your argument is with the OP.
If we’re going to duel with Eliezer posts, see also The Simple Truth.
Here are a few of my beliefs (although not my own words):
“I think I exist. I am conscious of my own identity. I was born and I shall die. I have arms and legs. I occupy a particular point in space. No other solid object can occupy the same point simultaneously.”
I do not expect to update any of these, and certainly not from sitting with my eyes closed “questioning” them.
But perhaps whatever Jed means can only be learned by going on a month-long retreat with him?
