I received an email from Eliezer stating:


You're welcome to repost if you criticize Coherent Extrapolated Volition specifically, rather than talking as if the document doesn't exist. And leave off the snark at the end, of course.

There is no 'snark'; what there IS, is a criticism. A very pointed one that Eliezer cannot counter.

There is no content to 'Coherent Extrapolated Volition'. It contains nothing but handwaving, smoke and mirrors. From the point of view of rational argument, it *doesn't* exist.
