Hey, author of the post on notation here. I think that the overview of CDT by Pruyn suffers from a (common) lack of ability to distinguish “morally better” from “functionally better”. The author is trying to say “people at the lower levels aren’t bad people” and ends up suggesting “it’s not worth trying to level up”.
Hmm. Not convinced, I’m afraid: why would anyone think (or expect others to think they think) that being lower on the scale is a moral failing? It looks to me more as if Pruyn is trying to claim that he doesn’t even see people at the higher levels as functionally better. Except that very clearly he does.
