I'm working on an LW article related to TDT together with Normal Anomaly.
I'm working on an animated short. It's mostly about the singularity, SIAI, and eutopia. Some help from Normal Anomaly so far and expecting to recruit other people for more help once it gets of the storyboarding stage. Expect an article on this if it gets past the vaporware stage.
I'm also getting an education and trying to fight of mental illness, I'm not sure if those count as projects.
Nope, memetic hazard of a potentially extremely dangerous kind. In fact figuring out how to make it safe is large part of the work that needs done. And We still need to check with some high ranking master rationalist before I'm willing to risk any information at all.
And it's just a use of it, not a meta work to improve the decision theory itself, so there should be no collisions.
And the fact that I'm puzzled right now as to what you're talking about is why I'm irked by comment deletions.
oh it was just... Asking about the TDT article! Yea, that's it. Totally what it was, nothing to see here. Hehe. awkward smile
Definitely. Are you taking describable approaches?
Nope, indescribable of the "bazilions of small and big things done towards it all the time with no pattern or connection other than they goal they're supposed to help accomplish" variety.
If the memetic hazard you're referring to is the same one as mine, I recommend benzodiazepines in the short term and vipassana meditation in the long term. And just thinking about it, though clearly you're already doing that.
I think to a large extent, the percieved threat of the thing is due to a generally neurotic perspective, common to many people here, which can twist abstract thinking into knots when given a sufficiently long and nonintuitive chain of reasoning. The trauma illuminates a serious problem with the mind rather than a serious threat from the idea.
Sounds like it almost certainly is not the same one.
It's still good to mention it, helps reaffirm your commitment. It would also be interesting to hear anecdotes about your efforts (successes and failures etc.)
