Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Turning 22 in the Pre-Apocalypse, published by testingthewaters on August 23, 2024 on LessWrong. Meta comment for LessWrong readers[1] Something Different This Way Comes - Part 1 In which I attempt to renegotiate rationalism as a personal philosophy, and offer my alternative - Game theory is not a substitute for real life - Heuristics over theories Introduction This essay focuses on outlining an alternative to the ideology of rationalism. As part of this, I offer my definition of the rationalist project, my account of its problems, and my concept of a counter-paradigm for living one's life. The second part of this essay will examine the political implications of rationalism and try to offer an alternative on a larger scale. Defining Rationalism To analyse rationalism, I must first define what I am analysing. Rationalism (as observed in vivo on forums like LessWrong) is a loose constellation of ideas radiating out of various intellectual traditions, amongst them Bayesian statistics, psychological decision theories, and game theory. These are then combined with concepts in sub-fields of computer science (AI and simulation modelling), economics (rational actor theory or homo economicus), politics (libertarianism), psychology (evolutionary psychology) and ethics (the utilitarianism of Peter Singer). The broad project of rationalism aims to generalise the insights of these traditions into application at both the "wake up and make a sandwich" and the "save the world" level. Like any good tradition, it has a bunch of contradictions embedded: Some of these include intuitionism (e.g. when superforecasters talk about going with their gut) vs deterministic analysis (e.g. concepts of perfect game-players and k-level rationality). Another one is between Bayesianism (which is about updating priors about the world based on evidence received, generally without making any causal assumptions) vs systemisation (which is about creating causal models/higher level representations of real life situations to understand them better). In discussing this general state of rhetorical confusion I am preceded by Philip Agre's Towards a Critical Technical Practice, which is AI specific but still quite instructive. The broader rationalist community (especially online) includes all sorts of subcultures but generally there are in group norms that promote certain technical argot ("priors", "updating"), certain attitudes towards classes of entities ("blank faces"/bureaucrats/NPCs/the woke mob etc), and certain general ideas about how to solve "wicked problems" like governance or education. There is some overlap with online conservatives, libertarians, and the far-right. There is a similar overlap with general liberal technocratic belief systems, generally through a belief in meritocracy and policy solutions founded on scientific or technological principles. At the root of this complex constellation there seems to be a bucket of common values which are vaguely expressed as follows: 1. The world can be understood and modelled by high level systems that are constructed based on rational, clearly defined principles and refined by evidence/observation. 2. Understanding and use of these systems enables us to solve high level problems (social coordination, communication, AI alignment) as well as achieving our personal goals. 3. Those who are more able to comprehend and use these models are therefore of a higher agency/utility and higher moral priority than those who cannot. There is also a fourth law which can be constructed from the second and third: By thinking about this at all, by starting to consciously play the game of thought-optimisation and higher order world-modelling, you (the future rationalist) have elevated yourself above the "0-level" player who does not think about such problems and naively pur...

En este episodio, nos apartamos por un momento del desastre del mas reciente episodio de Ahsoka para analizar otros desastres con implicaciones importantes para la humanidad. El mundo esta revuelto, ambiental-socio-politico-expidalidocious, y hoy analizamos cómo llegamos a estar tan arrinconados sin una solución a la vista.

There's a whole lot of crazy going on in the world right now. Maybe there always is but these last few years it has felt worse than usual. The pandemic, social unrest, political corruption, economic downturn, ongoing war, an uptick in natural disasters, and so on and so on. Nearly all of us are feeling the effects of this combined chaos in one way or another, and while it's not quite the apocalypse there are some days when it sure does feel like it. So, what are we to do? How do we get through the madness of these trying times while still maintaining our sanity? Well, when truth becomes stranger than fiction it might actually be beneficial to explore what real-world survival skills fictional pop culture protagonists can teach us to help us survive the pre-apocalypse.

In this episode, we examine the often-overlooked moments before an impending apocalypse, which have a special drama of their own. And we are here for that drama... do people come together in the face of impending doom, or do they crumble under the weight of inevitable disaster? We look at different types of impending doom - natural disasters that can't be averted, external agents such as aliens and robot overlords (you know we want to talk about Cylons and Reapers again!), and of course, looming man-made disasters that may or may not be averted. Nick is back with more Neon Genesis Evangelion (of course!), plus Flip has a WHOLE NEW WAY to examine Westworld! For detailed show notes and more information about the books, tv shows, movies, roleplaying games and computer games we discuss in this episode, check out the podcast website, podcultureoz.com.

On this episode we interrupt our regularly scheduled marriage myth to bring you a light hearted break from the uncertain state of the world to joke about disaster movies and loving music our parents forced us to listen to when we were kids. We will return to our marriage myth episode next week, so look out for that. Specific topic discussed in this episode: (0:30) Podcasting while social distancing and freaking out about the Coronavirus. (2:00) Shopping for a long stay at home during a pandemic is a nightmare, as most American’s learned this week. (3:30) We are good at staying home. We’ve been preparing our whole lives for this. (4:30) Good opportunity to binge our podcast. (5:00)Doing a lighthearted episode to keep things positive and better. (6:00) What movies have you seen that are post-apocalyptic? (8:00) Our experience watching The Day After Tomorrow. (9:44) Why is The Rock in every disaster movie? (10:30) We discuss 2012, Armageddon, Independence Day, and zombie movies. (12:30) Watching Adventure Time with our kids, which is a post-apocalyptic cartoon, which is fun for adults and kids. (16:20) With schools being cancelled, we talk about what our kids (and we) are excited about. (17:45) Finding the positive (daffodils) in a rough time in life. (18:30) Rochelle gets stuck in a chair. (20:00) Scott still has to get up for work, but the rest of us get to sleep in. (21:00) Post Malone is fun wake up music and Scott admits to loving it. (24:00) We don’t restrict what music the kids hear, even when it might have questionable music. (26:30) We both admit to enjoying music our parents loved when we were kids. (29:00) What little things will enjoy while you are social distancing? We talk about what we’re going to do to entertain ourselves.

2018 brought massive change to the ways we talk about climate. Global climate scientists put out the most alarming report yet on climate change impacts and projections, and media covered that report with the seriousness it deserved. The climate movement finally started moving past the hope narrative, and with megastorms ramping up and a town called Paradise burning down, climate change became impossible to ignore.

As humanity’s potential end draws near, our heroes still have not been allowed to say goodbye to their loved ones back on Earth.
