Do you know how epistemically distressing it is to have learned half the things you know from one person who keeps on getting proven right?

Yeah, huge red flag. I'll also note that reading Eliezer's stuff made me feel like I got to extend my beliefs in the same direction away from mainstream that they were already skewed, which is probably why I was extremely receptive to it.

Even though I've learned a lot, I don't get to congratulate myself for a real Mind Change.
