By the way, has anyone else made a link between this community’s unhealthy obsession with karma and prediction markets?
This sentence made me think of something completely different—both illustrate the attraction of pure meta means of truth-seeking, of being able to outperform messy object-level reasoning without having to do any of it—the “algorithmism” that Mencius Moldbug accuses Bayesianism of. Not that karma and prediction markets aren’t good ideas, of course.

Nick, thanks for the link—there are some interesting comments there.
