Science is built around the assumption that you’re too stupid and self-deceiving to just use Solomonoff induction.

He thinks the social institution of science is superfluous, were everyone as smart as he.

This is obviously false. Yudkowsky does not claim to be able to do Solomonoff induction in his head.

In general, when Yudkowsky addresses humanity's faults, he is including himself.
