Episode 142: Self Deception and Dogmatism

<p>Is so-called &quot;self-deception&quot; a real thing? How can one at once be aware that something is true and yet also be unaware of it? Is it even a coherent concept? Doesn&#39;t deception require at least two entities—the deceived and the deceiver? Can &quot;self-deception&quot; be explained as something much simpler, namely deception?</p><p><br></p><p>Bruce summarizes his views on self-deception, moralizing, and dogmatism from a critical rationalist perspective, as well as it&#39;s relevance for AGI, &quot;Super Intelligences&quot;, and human dogmatism.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/brucenielson/membership">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p></p>
