I think we both agree insofar as we would give similar diagnoses, but we maybe disagree insofar as we would give different recommendations about what to change.
I would recommend LessWrongers read more history, do more formal math and physics, and make more mathematical arguments[1].
I would expect you would recommend LessWrongers spend more time looking at statistics (in particular, our world in data), spend more time forecasting, and make more mathematical models.
Is this accurate?
This is not an exclusive list. I think also LessWrongers should read more textbooks about pretty much everything. ↩︎
