Why is blogging being sold as something superior to boring old books and lectures?
I don’t think that it is. In this particular case Eliezer was saying he was swayed by some bloggers but not that blogging is superior in general.
It’s not clear that he was correctly swayed, and it’s not clear that his favourite bloggers are reliable access the board.
Even if he had been correctly swayed, it’s still not clear that his favourite bloggers are reliable access the board.
The idea that there is a reliably correct contratianism remains unproven.
