Ah. I meant, I would like to see a group that has the sanity level of a typical rationalist, and the productivity level of these super-agenty irrationalists. (Instead of having to choose between “sane with lots of akrasia” and “awesome but insane”.)
Hm. Maybe there’s something to be gained from navigating ‘trade-offs’ differently? I thought perpetual motion machines were impossible (because thermodynamics) aside from ‘launch something into space, pointed away from stuff it would crash into’, though I’d read that ‘trying to do so is a good way to learn about physics., but I didn’t really try because I thought it’d be pointless.’ And then this happened.
It seems like the more people you know, the less likely this is.
Of both? (This sentence didn’t have a clear object.)
