Humans are just amazing at refusing to acknowledge existence of evidence.
And those humans would be the reflectively inconsistent ones.
It’s true that humans cut themselves from a significant good this way, but upside is worth it.
Not as judged from the standpoint of reflective equilibrium.
Any idea what it would be? It makes little sense to manufacture a few big paperclips if you can just as easily manufacture a lot more tiny paperclips if they’re just as good.
I already make small paperclips in preference to larger ones (up to the limit of clippiambiguity).
And those humans would be the reflectively inconsistent ones.
Wait, you didn’t know that humans are inherently inconsistent and use aggressive compartmentalization mechanisms to think effectively in presence of inconsistency, ambiguity of data, and limited computational resources? No wonder you get into so many misunderstandings with humans.
