I think the test for EY's articles aren't predictions he makes, which I don't recall many of, but what you can do with the insight he offers. For example, does it allow you to deal with your own problems better? Has it improved your instrumental rationality, including your epistemic rationality?
Except the standard you posit is not the standard EY holds himself to, per the quote in JMIV's comment.
Please state how you think his statement contradicts mine.
Hm, on rereading I'm not sure it actually does. Thank you.
