So, I get that De’da = Daniel Dennett and Yu’el = Eliezer Yudkowsky. But who is the real-world analogue of Po’mi? ETA: I guess it’s Mitchell Porter.
De’da may also be David Deutsch. Perhaps the two of them only recently split from each other...
In the comment thread to the next post, Eliezer says that Daniel Dennett was the intended interpretation, though he acknowledges that David Deutsch might also make sense after someone else suggests it.
I was guessing Michael Polanyi, but now I think you’re right.
Clever!
Mike Blume beat me to it, and figured out who Bo’ma is, too.
