I think the thing that rubs me the wrong way is that I’m a classic cynic (a childhood of equal parts Vonnegut and Ecclesiastes). My prior is “human fallibility”, and, nope, I am doing pretty well, no need to update it. The rationalist crowd seems waaaaay too credulous. Also, like Aaronson, I’m a complete normie in my personal life.

Yeah. It's not like everything's a Talmudic dialectic.
