> Aaronson admits Yudkowsky’s position is consistent

A position can be both consistent and false, because it is based on false premises; its frequently the case when people attempt to derive conclusions about the material universe from pure a priori reasoning from abstract axioms and assumptions without empirical grounding.



I'm well aware of this, but the premises, in this case, are true?

What do you take Yudkowsky's false premises to be?
