Is it at all meaningful to you that EY writes this in his homepage?
You should regard anything from 2001 or earlier as having been written by a different person who also happens to be named “Eliezer Yudkowsky”. I do not share his opinions.
It is true that EY has a big ego, but he also has the ability to renounce past opinions and admit his mistakes.
Absolutely, it is meaningful.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Notes for future OT posters:
1. Please add the 'open_thread' tag.

3. Open Threads should be posted in Discussion, and not Main.
4. Open Threads should start on Monday, and end on Sunday.
