I’m Eliezer Yudkowsky! Do you have any idea how many distinct versions of me there are in Tegmark Levels I through III?

  Don’t anthropomorphize humans, and don’t identify with yourself.

  37. Precisely 37. If you disagree then your conception of the identity “Eliezer Yudkowsky” is either too broad or too narrow. (So there!?)

    Am I the only one seeing a Hebrew letter here? Does א have some numerical significance I’m not aware of?
