#11: Bryan Caplan - You Will Not Stampede Me: Essays on Non-Conformism
Theo Jaffee Podcast
Exploring Perspectives on Rationality and Nonconformity within a Community
The speaker discusses similarities and differences between their rationality methods and those of the self-styled rationality community, mentioning positive experiences with the community but also noting a tendency towards cultish behavior and fixation on certain ideas. They express skepticism towards concerns about artificial intelligence and highlight a bet made with Eliezer on the end of the world. The speaker criticizes the community for allowing youthful sci-fi enthusiasm to lead to paranoia. They also question the promotion of polyamory within the community, believing it is only suitable for a small percentage of individuals and could be detrimental to families with children. The speaker emphasizes the evolutionary basis of jealousy and doubts the community's belief that people can easily overcome it in polyamorous relationships. Despite differences in opinions, the speaker appreciates the rationality community's openness and lack of pushiness, except when it comes to AI risk.
