Adventures of a would-be do-gooder. Month: May, 2014. May 14, 2014. Machine intelligence and capital accumulation. The distribution of wealth in the world 1000 years ago appears to have had a relatively small effect—or more precisely an unpredictable effect, whose expected value was small. On the world of today. I think there is a good chance that AI will fundamentally change this dynamic, and that the distribution of resources shortly after the arrival of human-level AI may have. May 4, 2014. I believe ...
The golden rule | Rational Altruist
http://rationalaltruist.com/2014/08/23/the-golden-rule
Adventures of a would-be do-gooder. Most of my moral intuitions are well-encapsulated by the maxim: “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This is a principle which has extremely broad intuitive appeal, and so it seems worth exploring how I end up with a relatively unusual ethical perspective. I think there are at least four ways in which my moral views are somewhat unusual:. I am a committed consequentialist. Have twice the probability of being helped.). I should flag some further subtleti...
What is the return on giving? | Rational Altruist
http://rationalaltruist.com/2013/05/10/what-is-the-return-on-giving
Adventures of a would-be do-gooder. What is the return on giving? Suppose I have $1 to spend and I want to use it to make the world as rich as possible. How far can my dollar go? Can I use $1 to to make the world $2 richer? It’s hard to know what to even expect a priori, and people seem to have widely varying estimates. Let’s call this figure the. It is appropriate to talk about an absolute return rather than a. It grows at roughly the same pace as the world economy at large. I am interested in effects.

Four ways we shouldn’t discount the future, and one way we should. Giving now vs. giving later. A critique of a standard view of the urgency of giving. How useful is progress? A counter-intuitive argument about the value of last year’s developments. A description of my overall views towards do-gooding. A cute alternative to act consequentialism.
My outlook | Rational Altruist
http://rationalaltruist.com/2013/06/03/my-outlook
Adventures of a would-be do-gooder. This will be a relatively short post, sketching my overall view of valuable altruistic endeavors. I suspect that contemporary choices will have a significant impact on the character of this future civilization, and therefore that this impact is a primary consideration for contemporary decisions. In descending order of plausibility, I think the most important impacts. I think the most promising interventions. At the moment are:. Work directly on existing projects for hu...

Seeing into the True Nature: reason #21,066 reason to distrust all scientific studies
http://grognor.blogspot.com/2016/12/reason-21066-reason-to-distrust-all.html
Seeing into the True Nature. Reason #21,066 reason to distrust all scientific studies. Originally posted November 21, 2016. I see a lot of people claiming that jobs are good for people, because jobs give life more meaning. They point to studies "showing" that people are happier when employed than unemployed, even when "controlling" for just giving people money. Needless to say I haven't read any of these, because I am not in the habit of filling my brain with motivated bullshit. Now first of all, really?

Seeing into the True Nature. The thought to which all thoughts eventually return, as if it were the bottom of the cognitive bowl. See also: The Monster. How is so weak and imperfect a creature as individual man, isolated and wretched, shorn from community, ejected from egregore and unable to assimilate, supposed to make the world a better place?

Seeing into the True Nature: Conflation vs. Erroneous Splitting

Seeing into the True Nature. Conflation vs. Erroneous Splitting. Originally published July 11, 2016. Consider these four situations:. Conflating two things. Conflation is the mistake of thinking that two or more things are the same thing. Incorrectly splitting one thing into two things. This is the mistake of thinking that one thing is two or more things. Correctly identifying that two things are the same thing. Correctly distinguishing two things that used to be thought of as one thing. I co-wrote, I've...

Seeing into the True Nature. Originally posted October 24, 2016. Look at these fucking buttons:. I have to hit these buttons many times per day, always with the same overworked left thumb. They are terrible buttons and I have a mild repetitive strain injury. Does anyone other than video game console manufacturers? Look at this beautiful goddamn artifact:. Which popularized the useful concept of affordance. Hopefully I can at least listen to the audiobook some day. I play video games on my prematurely agi...

Seeing into the True Nature. Originally published April 3, 2016. I've been homeless and unemployed for a long time. So I started scavenging out of necessity. But I would keep doing it even if I had were employed and dignified, to save money and prevent waste. It's smart and cool, like all forms of frugality. When you're a veg*n. My original idea for this post also included some guidelines for what discarded foods are good and what are bad, with the obligatory "your health is your responsibility, not mine...

Seeing into the True Nature. Superstitions as Evolved Objects. It's common to mock superstitions to display one's Skeptic. Cred, but it's a mistake, because they are Chesterton fences. It's bad luck to walk under a ladder. No, okay, it's not "bad luck", but ladders are dangerous. Seven years of bad luck for breaking a mirror. Not really sure about this one but who wants broken mirrors? Mirrors are probably pretty hard to make. My hope with this article is that it produces a Baader-Meinhof effect. Metamox...

Ignorance of non-existent preferences. Perfect procrastination →. I don’t clean because the house is never dirty. September 13, 2010. I often think about this. When someone thinks I should do more housework:. When women see how little housework men do, they interpret it as “shirking” …Men, in turn, feel unfairly maligned…Who is right? 8230;Usually, men. Because the typical man doesn’t care very much about cleanliness. When the bachelor gets married, he almost certainly starts doing. Click to share on Sky...

Alignment | Why are we here, and how should we act?
Why are we here, and how should we act? Principles of Rational Alignment. Religious questions and secularisation. For most of human history, answers to questions about how we came to be here, what meaning there might be in human life, and how we ought to behave have been provided by religions.

Rational Altruist | Adventures of a would-be do-gooder.
Adventures of a would-be do-gooder. November 15, 2014. In this post post I describe a simple institution for altruistic funding and decision-making, characterized by the creation and exchange of “certificates of impact.”. Typically an effectiveness-minded altruist would try to do as much good as possible. Instead, users of the certificates system try to collect certificates for as much good as possible. August 23, 2014. Most of my moral intuitions are well-encapsulated by the maxim: “do unto others...
