I reject MWI, reject consequentialism/utilitarianism, reject reductionism, reject computationalism, reject Eliezer's metaethics. There's probably more. I think most of the core sequences are wrong/wrongheaded. Large parts of it trade in nonsense.

I appreciate the scope of Eliezer's ambition though, and enjoy Less Wrong.

reject reductionism,

This one I'm curious to hear about. Of everything on that list, this is generally pretty uncontroversial.

Can you explain all that to someone who largely agrees with EY?
