- 03:03, 18 July 2023 diff hist -4 Media Bias/Fact Check →Reasonable criticism
- 02:55, 18 July 2023 diff hist -3,874 Media Bias/Fact Check →Example: Snopes: Not the best example given that it's now classified as centre-left
- 02:33, 18 July 2023 diff hist -18 Robin Hanson Unexplained removal
- 04:17, 17 July 2023 diff hist +2 m Political spectrum →Other measures
- 04:17, 17 July 2023 diff hist +41 Political spectrum →Other measures: Ideologies like that definitely fit; it's just that their views are all over the spectrum
- 22:22, 16 July 2023 diff hist -2 Political spectrum →Far-left
- 21:50, 16 July 2023 diff hist +311 Political spectrum →Problems with a 1-dimensional spectrum: Right-wing parties can still borrow left-wing ideas to promote right-wing causes deemed more important (e.g. racism).
- 21:34, 16 July 2023 diff hist +147 Political spectrum →Problems with a 1-dimensional spectrum: Radicalism and totalitarianism aren't even ideological features.
- 21:27, 16 July 2023 diff hist -202 Political spectrum →Problems with a 1-dimensional spectrum: It doesn't suggest that. The most fundamental definitions of the left vs the right (e.g. the right advocates individual responsibility while the left advocates societal responsibility) aren't exclusive to economic policy.
- 21:19, 16 July 2023 diff hist +2 Political spectrum →"Moderate": mixed views and career pols
- 21:28, 31 March 2023 diff hist -3 Robin Hanson
- 21:28, 31 March 2023 diff hist -6 Robin Hanson Not sure that's a credit
- 21:27, 31 March 2023 diff hist -1 Eliezer Yudkowsky →Other controversial positions
- 21:21, 31 March 2023 diff hist -188 Eliezer Yudkowsky →AI "research": No, that's not at all what AI research is about
- 15:47, 31 March 2023 diff hist +25 Cybernetic revolt
- 15:45, 31 March 2023 diff hist -265 Cybernetic revolt →Various perspectives
- 16:49, 18 March 2023 diff hist +1 Sam Harris →Apologist for white supremacists
- 02:32, 18 March 2023 diff hist -324 Singularity →Is the Singularity going to happen?: Not relevant in the context of computing power, which is provably undergoing accelerating change.
- 02:27, 18 March 2023 diff hist -1,371 Singularity →Is the Singularity going to happen?: Unless human brains involve a form of magic, human brain replicas will be executable on future supercomputers. Also, if ever ASI is developed, that would immediately prove the self-iterativeness of intelligence, as a lesser intelligence (us) would have created a greater intelligence. This entire paragraph is bunk.
- 02:17, 18 March 2023 diff hist -1 Singularity →Technological singularity
- 02:15, 18 March 2023 diff hist -382 Singularity →Technological singularity: There is 0 evidence that Moore's Law is beginning to stall + deleted that mess of a sentence.
- 02:13, 18 March 2023 diff hist -3 Singularity →Technological singularity
- 02:04, 18 March 2023 diff hist -39 Eliezer Yudkowsky →AI "research": I don't think this has aged very well
- 01:43, 18 March 2023 diff hist +31 Political spectrum →Fallacies: balance, solemnify and disregard: Both sides ARE idiotic cranks, just to differing extents.
- 01:39, 18 March 2023 diff hist +4 Political spectrum →Fallacies: balance, solemnify and disregard: The moderate right wing obviously doesn't seek to tolerate racism
- 11:02, 6 May 2021 diff hist -1 God
- 22:13, 21 December 2020 diff hist 0 Sam Harris →Anti-Islam or Islamophobe?
- 18:00, 21 December 2020 diff hist -18 Mind uploading Not the best example with the book: everyone agrees that a copy of a book is not the same physical object as the original, but not everyone (actually almost no one) agrees that physical composition has anything to do with consciousness.
- 17:42, 21 December 2020 diff hist +19 m Mind uploading →Philosophical problems
- 17:40, 21 December 2020 diff hist +7 Mind uploading →Philosophical problems: Moved to appropriate section
- 17:08, 21 December 2020 diff hist -144 Mind uploading →Philosophical problems
- 17:04, 21 December 2020 diff hist -1,381 Mind uploading It is absolutely not reasonable to assume that two things which are identical to each other are nonetheless different ─ in fact, it is in violation of Leibniz's Law. Also, how does this "subjective consciousness" hold up over time?
- 16:55, 21 December 2020 diff hist 0 Mind uploading →Philosophical problems
- 16:54, 21 December 2020 diff hist +421 Mind uploading →Philosophical problems: Added an example which demonstrates just how nonsensical the "skeptic" view is.
- 16:40, 21 December 2020 diff hist -8 Mind uploading →Philosophical problems: They take subjectivity into account: both the "original" and the "copy" will subjectively believe they are the "true" continuation of the original.
- 16:34, 21 December 2020 diff hist +19 Mind uploading →Philosophical problems: If consciousness is artificially replicable then the second question is answered. What the question is talking about here is whether consciousness if functionally replicable.
- 16:28, 21 December 2020 diff hist +2 Mind uploading →Philosophical problems: Consciousness != the brain by definition, although one very probably supervenes upon the other.
- 16:25, 21 December 2020 diff hist 0 Mind uploading →Philosophical problems
- 16:22, 21 December 2020 diff hist +1 Singularity If futurism is philosophy then singularity is philosophy. Either both are pseudoscience or both are philosophy.
- 16:16, 21 December 2020 diff hist -47 Singularity →Techno-faith is still faith: Studies show that slightly over 50% of IT-related professionals believe the singularity will happen, while a large minority do not.
- 16:12, 21 December 2020 diff hist +2 Singularity →Is the Singularity going to happen?
- 16:09, 21 December 2020 diff hist +4 Presuppositionalism
- 12:24, 16 December 2020 diff hist +12 Vladimir Putin →What happens after him?: All of those things are still true with Putin in power
- 14:22, 15 December 2020 diff hist +1 Nobel disease
- 14:15, 15 December 2020 diff hist 0 Freeman Dyson
- 14:12, 15 December 2020 diff hist -3 Non-Overlapping Magisteria →NOMA: No conflict and no overlap
- 14:07, 15 December 2020 diff hist -1 Singularity →Extraterrestrial singularity
- 14:03, 15 December 2020 diff hist -7 Singularity →Why isn't the Singularity going to happen?: Better not to claim certainty about physically possible future events. Doing so is no less techno-faithy than having dogmatic belief in a future singularity.
- 14:01, 15 December 2020 diff hist +395 Singularity →Why isn't the Singularity going to happen?: Common response and refutation
- 13:33, 15 December 2020 diff hist -1 English spelling reform →English is too motley
