Extremely cool in an armchair-physicist sort of way, but what's the rationality?
Fair point -- I actually wasn't 100% convinced myself it fits here... Reason for posting it anyway was that (a) it somehow reminded me of the omega/2-boxes problem (i.e., the paradoxal way how present and past seem to influence each other), (b) Hans Moravec work touches on so many of the AI/transhumanist themes common in LW and (c) I found it such a clever observation that I thought people here would appreciate.
Not sure if that's enough reason, but that's how it went.
I guess 'it all adds up to normality', but that's a stretch.
There might be other equilibria in which the past and future adjust to form a new symmetry. So you kill your grandfather, say, but you're no longer related to him. Oh yeah... rationality. Haven't a clue:/. Its a nice quote.
