Multiheaded isn't American, so why would you want the judge to be?
Multiheaded would be the judge, and the US liberal would be the comparison who would have to be more convincingly liberal than me by Multiheaded's estimation.
Why American? Because I'm American, and I wasn't claiming to be able to impersonate every crazy on the globe.
As for why liberal, it's a crazy I'm familiar with a large population here, and he said "Evil Meddling People", so the shoe fit.
I don't claim that I can impersonate every crazy in the world, only ones I'm familiar with.
Though Multiheaded really shouldn't be the judge. It should be another run of the mill American liberal. The relevant Turing test is whether I can pass myself off as one of the tribe.
So you're playing the credence game, and you’re getting a pretty good sense of which level of confidence to assign to your beliefs. Later, when you’re discussing politics, you wonder how you can calibrate your political beliefs as well (beliefs of the form "policy X will result in outcome Y"). Here there's no easy way to assess whether a belief is true or false, in contrast to the trivia questions in the credence game. Moreover, it’s very easy to become mindkilled by politics. What do you do?
In the credence game, you get direct feedback that allows you to learn about your internal proxies for credence, i.e., emotional and heuristic cues about how much to trust yourself. With political beliefs, however, there is no such feedback. One workaround would be to assign high confidence only to beliefs for which you have read n academic papers on the subject. For example, only assign 90% confidence if you've read ten academic papers.
To account for mindkilling, use a second criterion: assign high confidence only to beliefs for which you are ideologically Turing-capable (i.e., able to pass an ideological Turing test). As a proxy for an actual ideological Turing test, you should be able to accurately restate your opponent’s position, or be able to state the strongest counterargument to your position.
In sum, to calibrate your political beliefs, only assign high confidence to beliefs which satisfy extremely demanding epistemic standards.
