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

And the, I guess there's something ironic about having this lesson taught to you by somebody who's an authority, right?

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

If the, if the lesson is don't trust authorities, how can I trust this received wisdom then from, from the authority?

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

But I guess, cause you can see it for yourself.

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

It's tough because I do love the lesson.

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

And if I were to get tattoos, especially if I were to get tattoo words or sentiments on me, that'd be the one I got.

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

But...

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

I don't want people to, I don't, I don't want the lesson to be for everybody.

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

You can't count on people.

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

Cause that is kind of the lesson.

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

Um, you, you know, it, it means that ultimately it has to be you.

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

But, uh,

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

know maybe i'll spend my time dissecting heroic wisdom because i think i think that there's a there's a way that it twists that i've i've found the the dance along the razor's edge of like constantly blaming myself for stuff and uh

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

some of the missteps would be putting the responsibility on everybody else instead of myself or something.

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

But I don't know if it's as easy as just being told, you have to do the Spider-Man level of responsibility, right?

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

Because some people, some impressionable young children like me who watch Spider-Man cartoons might internalize that a little too hard.

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

But that doesn't mean it's wrong to internalize.

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

I think it just needs to be delivered the right way.

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

And the book does a great way of doing it.
