Really? Why? I've read Eliezer's writings extensively. I have *enormous* respect for him. I think he's one of the great unsung intellects of our time.

To simply assume that Eliezer is honest would be *exactly* the kind of bias that this entire blog is dedicated to overturning.

That depends on what career you are pursuing, and how much risk you are willing to take.
