It’s despicable that this was necessary.

So, after reading the comments, I figure I should speak up because selection effects
I appreciated the deleting of the original post. I thought it was silly, and pointless and not what should be on LW. I didn’t realize it was being upvoted (or I would have downvoted it), and I still don’t know why it was.
I endorse the unintrusive (i.e, silent and unannounces) deleting of things like this (particularly given that the author was explicitly not taking the posting seriously—written while drunk, etc), and I suspect others do as well.
There’s a thing that happens wherein any disagreement with moderation ends up being much more noticable than agreement. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were many who, like me, agreed with decisions like this and weren’t speaking up. If so, I urge you to briefly comment (even just “I agree/d with the decision to delete”).
There is, in fact, ridiculously good evidence to think that more information is preserved by cryonics than a letter dissolved in acid. The incredibly important question is 1) How much information is preserved, and 2) whether it is the right information.
dead ancestors may not count as ‘non-human’, depending on your metric.
I have a principle of not upvoting things I don’t understand. Otherwise, I would.
Having done some research, I find that you are correct, at least as regards to parenting and genetics. My ‘cached’ opinion was based on misleading information absorbed for what I though was good reason, but, on reflection, was just blindly following authority. Retracted.
Maybe we’ll have the capacity for AI in 50 years—but need another 500 years to make it friendly.
Unfortunately, if that’s true, we all lose.
Although I’m not at all sure it was deliberate (is there a way to submit potential typos?), we may have just gotten some new evidence about the true nature of magic. In Ch 89 Fred/George cast a spell solely from the memory of seeing Dumbledore cast it (“Deligitor prodi”), got the incantation wrong (“Deligitor prodeas”), and yet still achieved an (apparently) identical effect (The summoning of the Sorting Hat). It appears that if this is legitimate evidence rather than a typo, magic has an error bound for the correct pronunciation of spells.
I don’t suppose you have a source for the quote? (at this point, my default is to disbelieve any attribution of a quote unknown to me to Einstein)
Phoenixes in this fic act like things that would only happen in stories.
Wrong framing*. The question is between
A: People gave wrong answer AND weren’t misinterpreting the question
B: People gave wrong answer AND were misinterpreting the question
*Unless that was a joke, in which case disregard
What, if anything, do you think a lesswrong regular who’s read the sequences and all/most of MIRI’s non-technical publications will get out of your book?
Personally, I’m glad you decided not to.
I assumed that it was sarcasm.
Please do.
