Falsifiability :P
Has Moldbug ever mentioned finding out that he was wrong about something? About something important?
His frequent use of insults suggests to me that it might be hard for him to change his mind.
Let's go for second best. Has Moldbug publicly changed his mind, even though he didn't say he'd changed his opinions?
It's been a while since I read his blog, but I think he's mentioned that he no longer stands by his whole BDH-OV class analysis, though I don't think he ever really explained why. That's the only thing that comes readily to mind.
One negative example would be his Anti-Versity essay. Despite his early promises years ago, he has yet to publish anything on the topic or acknowledge his failure to do so. The obvious explanation is that he realized his idea is crap but is embarrassed to admit it.
What's BDH-OV?
