Great post! I really enjoy your writing style. I agree with everything up to your last sentence of cooperative epistemics. It looks like a false equivalence between a community of perfect trust and a community based on mistrust. I’m thinking a community of “trust but verify” with a vague assumption of goodwill will capture all the benefits of mistrust without the risks of half rationalists or “half a forum of autists” going off the deep end and making a carrying error in their EV calculations to overly negative results.
Corrupted Hardware leads me to think we need to aim high to end up at an optimum level of honesty.
