I don’t really have anything to add here, except that I strongly agree with basically everything in this post, and ditto for post #3 (and the parts that I hadn’t thought about before all make a lot of sense to me). I actually feel like a lot of this is just good philosophy/introspection and wouldn’t have been out of place in the sequences, or any other post that’s squarely aimed at improving rationality. §2.2 in particular is kinda easy to breeze past because you only spend a few words on it, but imo it’s a pretty important philosophical insight.
