I’m saying that this post itself is falling prey to the thing it advises against. Better to point at a cluster that helps navigate, like Hanson’s babblers than to talk about the information theoretic content of aggregate clusters.
It seems to me like the OP is motivated by a desire to improve decisionmaking processes by making a decisive legal argument against corruption in front of a corrupt court, and that this is an inefficient way of coordinating to move people who are reachable to a better equilibrium.
Does that seem like substantively the same objection to you?
I found parts of the post object-level helpful, like the bit I directly commented on, but overall agree it’s giving LW too much credit for coordinating towards “Rationality.” But people like Zack will correctly believe that LW’s corruption is not common knowledge if people like us aren’t willing to state the obvious explicitly.

Yeah, pointing at the same stuff. That clarification helped.
