Also, when I asked about whether the Orthogonality Thesis was true in humans, tailcalled mentioned that smarter people are neither more or less compassionate, and general intelligence is uncorrelated with personality.
Yeah, tailcalled’s pretty smart in this area, so I’ll take their statement as likely true, though also weird. Why aren’t smarter people using their smarts to appear nicer than their dumb counter-parts / if they are, why doesn’t this show up on the psychometric tests?
