Rationalist check-list:

  1. Incorrect use of analogy? Check.
  2. Pseudoscientific nonsense used to make your point seem more profound? Check.
  3. Tortured use of probability estimates? Check.
  4. Over-long description of a point that could just have easily been made in 1 sentence? Check.

This email by SBF is basically one big malapropism.

    Alts for SBF’s usage of “uncanny valley” he can have for free if he promises not to use “uncanny valley” incorrectly ever again:

    • amiss abyss
    • stench trench
    • uncomfortable gorge/fjord
    • communication fail vale
    • canyon of “can you meet me in the middle”

    It’s 100 BTC if he wants to keep misusing it though.
