Eliezer Yudkowsky Quotes

Human Beings," Said The Ship's Confessor, "cannot Designate A 'current Best Candidate' Without Psychological Consequences. Human Rationalists Learn To Discuss An Issue As Thoroughly As Possible Before Suggesting Any Solutions. For Humans, Solutions Are Sticky In A Way That Would Require Detailed Cognitive Science To Explain. We Would Not Be Able To Search Freely Through The Solution Space, But Would Be Helplessly Attracted Toward The 'current Best' Point, Once We Named It. Also, Any Endorsement Whatever Of A Solution That Has Negative Moral Features, Will Cause A Human To Feel Shame - And 'best Candidate' Would Feel Like An Endorsement. To Avoid Feeling That Shame, Humans Must Avoid Saying Which Of Two Bad Alternatives Is Better Than The Other.
