By the way, is this Zvi Mowshowitz? If so, I wrote and cited some things you wrote about advantage theory some months ago, and a friend asked if I knew you from the rationalist community. I said I didn’t know Zvi was a rationalist; I just liked his writing and was happy to reference it. (The piece was on tracing the hidden logic of things when the things that determine winning and losing aren’t explicitly coded parameters.)
If so, well, small world — and thanks, twice. This post is great, and your past archives on logic and decisionmaking were wonderfully insightful reading for me.
Excellent post.

Yes, it’s me, and you’re most welcome. I know exactly the piece you’re talking about, and it’s still the hardest thing I ever had to write.
