Maybe I’m misunderstanding Plato, then? It seems to me that Plato’s advocating that you can’t learn about things outside by staring at the ceiling, but by interacting with them, which is Yudkowsky’s position as well.

Wait, you criticize the fallaciousness of the ancient Greeks, and then follow up with a quote from Plato on the same subject? Doesn’t that undermine your statement about them a bit?
Oh, okay. Thank you!
