major difference between updating on evidence vs. morals: we know that a bayesian is converging (monotonically?) towards truth with each piece of evidence, while with moral progress, it seems likely that we are not bounded in how wrong our updates can be (even if we grant that the arc bends towards justice in the end). we might need to escape moral local maxima. therefore, it seems good to preserve option value.

I have implemented a related-tweets box in the !twtxt_playground as a proof-of-concept. More info on fts5 can be found at [[https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html]].

Update: if you buy the paperback version of my book, now you’ll be able to get the ebook for free. (Dunno why anybody would want that.) Also, the ebook now has wikipedia links for various terms via X-Ray, in case you didn’t know who Thad Starner was or something.
