This question “optimization” is pretty interesting. I’m not sure I consider “not an optimizer to be the distinguishing feature, but nonetheless. I agree that in this sense, the LW “law/moderation” is an optimizer and will interfere with optimization it disagrees with much more than the law. It might be a matter of degree though.
I like this comment and have more to say, but I spilled soy sauce on my keyboard recently and my spacebar is sticky, making it hard to type. I’ll say a little more tomorrow when I have an external keyboard again.
