Not remotely? Then what constitutes qualification in your eyes? To be frank, I'm not picking up anything more than your mere contempt for both of these authors. I'm unconvinced that Yudkowsky's problem is that he hasn't bothered to read some philosophy. That just seems too unspecific to be helpful. And granted I've read a fraction of the total content of SSC and Less Wrong, but if what Scott Alexander writes typifies "irrationality" then show me your paragon of rationality.Yudkowsky isn't remotely qualified to write a book on rationality
