Why can't conceptual analysis be regarded as "Coherent Extrapolated Cognition"? Just because people are vague in their thinking doesn't mean that clarity is a vice.
ETA: I'm going to try to stay away from LW for at least a month, in the hope that this sequence will be finished by the time I revisit. I know I'm going to fundamentally disagree with a lot of it, but better to wait until it's done rather than quarrel with it piecemeal.
A sequence done in one month? Clearly, you've haven't been paying attention to my other sequences. :)
Coherent extrapolated cognition? Sounds like the process of reflective equilibrium, another standard tool of philosophy. I'll address that in future posts.
Certainly not!
