So your strategy is basically 'subjective anticipation is a useful but ultimately incoherent idea; Permutation City takes it to an absurdum'?

That's a good idea, but I don't think your antidote post is strong enough. Subjective anticipation is a deeply-held belief, after all.

I agree, I think the antidote post is better than nothing, but I recommend it in addition to, not instead of, the memetic hazard label.
