Curated. I’ve been hearing about the concept of the acausal economy for awhile and think it’s a useful concept, but I don’t think I’ve seen it written up as succinctly/approachably before.
I appreciated the arguments about how simulation is actually pretty expensive, and logical/moral extrapolation is comparatively cheap, and that there are some reasons to expect this to be a fairly central aspect of the acausal economy/society. I’ve been reading along with Critch’s recent series on both boundaries and Lob’s Theorem. I’m not sure I actually fully grok the underlying argument, but reading those in conjunction with this post gave me a clearer sense of how this all fits together.
I know a lot of people are kinda freaked out about acausal trade. I’m not sure whether this post will help them, but I’m curious to hear from people who’ve previously been worried about whether they found this useful.
