Yes, I want to completely revise that if possible.

Also, do you like this post? It's kind of an angry-post, so I'm thinking of maybe taking it down and putting the kernel of the idea in it into a better one.

I was reading this one together with the "Intuitionists vs. Establishmentarian" post, agreed with a lot of your criticisms of Scott on conflict vs. mistake theories there, this one did feel more like an angry-post rather than development of criticisms but would be interested in seeing elaboration of some things you say here if you feel like writing more on them sometime (For ex the comment about a political explanation for why the anti-political exists, or why you identify the political specifically with conservatives as opposed to critics of status quo/incrementalist liberalism on both left and right, especially since Scott's conflict vs. mistake theory post is in large part about setting up Marxists as irrational conflict theorists. Also have my doubts Yudkowsky would abandon Bayesianism as it seems so central to his thinking not to mention his "brand", but I'm not familiar with "Inner-Compassing" so would be interested to hear more about why it could come into conflict with his politics.)
