It's not about being smart, it's about accounting for your own ignorance.

If you can think of a way to make the fundamental point about the limitations of our knowledge in a way that's still compelling but less antagonistic, feel free to suggest how I could've rewritten my comment.

Perhaps the general pattern you see is not a "fundamental difference"? Could it be that you are also falling prey to the "all you see is all there is" cognitive bias?

  • Sure, there's a trivial sense in which that's always true whenever someone makes any sort of remark about the world. There's always a sense in which there could be factors that I'm not accounting for.

Why would I support your in your doomer lobbying quest by telling you how you can better hack people?
