I’m not sure what you mean. I agree solving adversarial epistemics is quite important and among the top priorities for the rationality project. But why would that be necessary to get any value out of empiricism/scholarship/etc?
Capitalism is built out of adversarial epistemics, which often results in waste, but still has generated tremendous value, as has science and academia. I wouldn’t consider the typical company or research department a “weird social club” just because they hadn’t solved that yet –
Does that comparison seem wrong? Do you in fact consider most businesses weird social clubs? I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at here.
