people who are aggressively empathetic turn out to be weirdly bad at clocking people’s motivations it’s like the gimmes (sad person is sad) give them a false sense of clairvoyance (person who gave me weird look hates me) see also correlation between empathy and magical thinking. same deal.

When you can’t be brutally honest you’re left with two choices: 1. Try to be honest without being brutal 2. Devalue honesty Feels sometimes that culturally we are pinballing in vain between these two approaches.

contrarian AGI thesis: AGI does not immediately solve biological issues due to lack of knowledge. Instead it proposes a series of studies and experiments to acquire knowledge that might take decades to bear fruit. We get mired in political debates about which populations might be compelled to participate in these experiments, what ethical cautions to take, and so on. We aren’t bound by computational or technological limits, we’re bound be epistemic limits. How quickly will nature reveal her remaining secrets?
