from Alexis’s perspective, Bryce is hitting “defect” on a prisoner’s dilemma
Was surprised at this line because that scenario seemed to me clearly a Stag Hunt. On reflection, of course this varies between people.
Edit: it seemed to me from Alexis's perspective, I mean.
at a glance the most prominent color is probably red
Seems to me lots more white.
I've told a few people Lsusr's fear heuristic.
I'll repost my comment from Substack, with the better formatting from LessWrong.
Yay, Toki Pona and Rationalist Taboo. Thank you.
I don't know Toki Pona. I'm using Wiktionary and Google to understand the words, and mostly ignoring grammar.I think it would make more sense to Toki Ponise all the proper nouns, and use links or footnotes to clarify the weird ones.
Taboo -> musi Tapu, and Hasbro -> kulupu Asopo?Wiktionary says: "Using pi followed by one word is proscribed."
"ma ale en mun en kili telo li jo e selo sama."
I don't understand this sentence."tenpo suno" feels weird to me, like that should be the word for 'year' rather than 'day'. Google says it's the standard. I think 'period of the large fluctuation in sunlight' would translate very well ('jule' means 'vibrate'). It might not work out for the poles, though. Similar for "tenpo sike" later.
This was a really good choice of essay. Thank you."Awistote"
Not proper, because of the "st". 'Awitote' works. 'Ewitato' sounds like how I've heard it. 'Awitoteli' might be more like how he pronounced it. 'Awitotili' can sound like it has 'totally', which is funny to say."Sokatesi"
This one works, but is also weird. I think 'Sakati' sounds like how I've heard it. 'Sokati' is closer to the Greek."jan Awistote li toke e ni:"
I can't find 'toke'. Did you mean 'toki'?"Alebe"
Not proper, because of the "b". Maybe 'Alapa'?
I'd recommend making up new stock names rather than translating the old ones. Toki Pona's alphabet starts with a, then e. So maybe 'Ana' and 'Esa', from Frozen.
(I think this alphabet should be called 'ane'. 'Alphabet' comes from the first two Greek letters. Esperanto spells vowels with themselves, but 'ae' is illegal, so I add a no.)"kasi kiwen suli"
I think 'palisa' makes more sense here than "kiwen". Just 'kasi suli' would also work well."jan Alebe: 'kasi kiwen suli li kama anpa. ni li pali e kalama. jan Pewi: 'kasi kiwen suli li kama anpa. ni li pali ala e kalama.'"
I don't think this works without context. You forgot to say that the tree is alone."jan Alebe: 'ni li pali e kon tawa.'"
This could describe either interpretation. You could use 'jule' here too."nasin sewi mute li sama lukin"
Why'd you use 'sama'? 'Ante' makes more sense to me.I liked this post. Thank you.
Wow! Toki Pona is very easy to learn. Thank you.
Any feedback or responses for me?
Not sure why this was downvoted.
I guess it's unproductive.

What was this called before?
I think it's this.
