How do rationalists repent? I have karma to burn...
I’d say they repent by updating their beliefs, and cleaning up the debris left by their old ones. This is rather similar for rationalists and non-rationalists alike really. Kind of like apologizing for stealing the candy from the drugstore and promising to pay it back..
Hm, that’s not a particularly natural fit here… the only beliefs I’d be updating are beliefs about what styles of communication should be normative. Still, it’s my style to treat ontological disagreement as a big deal, so I’ll update accordingly.
