The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And that seems pointlessly pedantic and self-destructively so.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Oh, it was great.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

I whispered it in exasperation because I know people who make the arguments about water.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

It seems like every non-AI liberal that I know has that in their ready-to-shoot knockdown argument.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

I'm like, guys, even if it was true, which it's not, and I'd be happy to show you why it's not if you want to actually know, that's not the problem.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

But the essay did a wonderful job explaining where he thinks they're coming from.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And I think he's probably right to some extent.

The Bayesian Conspiracy

I think that saying, you know, it comes down to like a basically religiously motivated, pseudo religiously motivated desire to be unilaterally and unambiguously against an evil taking water from poor people.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

How could you put that way?

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

The Bayesian Conspiracy

But it's like, is it?

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Yeah.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

It's still just, it's still madness to me.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Well, maybe they would reflect and say, you know what, I was making the water argument for bad reasons.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

Yeah.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

And maybe I will find another reason to dislike the... You know...

254 โ€“ The True Theme and Meaning of HPMOR

job loss or creativity loss or whatever, those are all perfectly cromulent takes that people can have.
