J said: I read this blog for Hanson's posts, but unfortunately you are one of his co-bloggers
AND
but because you are at best a seventh rate thinker self-deceived into thinking he's a second rate thinker.
don't you think that Robin must think EY is at least a second rate thinker, or else he wouldn't let himself be associated with such a lowly seventh rate thinker...
i completely understand if you don't think EY is a worthwhile guy to read, no prob there...but then why read Hanson also? if they are colleagues and co-bloggers there must be something about EY that Robin thinks is first rate, no?
Not necessarily. Hanson might be a good thinker who is also a personal opportunist who'll do anything to enhance his status, where co-publishing with Yudkowsky helped put Hanson's blog on the map. Hanson could have "admired" Yudkowsky for his fan-club building capacities rather than for the high quality of his thinking.
