I assume everyone has run across at least one of the “Shit X’s Say” format of videos? Such as Shit Skeptics Say. When done right it totally triggers the in-group warm-fuzzies. (Not to be confused with the nearly-identically formatted “Shit X’s Say to Y’s” which is mainly a way for Y’s to complain about X’s).
What sort of things do Rationalists often say that triggers this sort of in-group recognition which could be popped into a short video? A few I can think of...
You should sign up for cryonics. I want to see you in the future.
…intelligence explosion…
What’s your confidence interval?
You know what they say: one man’s Modus Ponens is another man’s Modus Tollens
This may sound a bit crazy right now, but hear me out…
What are your priors?
When the singularity comes that won’t be a problem anymore.
I like to think I’d do that, but I don’t fully trust myself. I am running on corrupted hardware after all.
I want to be with you, and I don’t foresee that changing in the near future.
…Bayesian statistics…
So Omega appears in front of you…
What would you say the probability of that event is, if your beliefs are true?
