@yoavgo Sure but it's weird to me how much criticism this gets when Yud & Soares' If False, False book has glowing reviews, almost no online criticism, and gets Yud on Ezra Klein. And that entire book is pushing an agenda and one that makes even less sense

@TaliaRinger its an ok book overall but her agenda pushing is tiring. could have been much better without it imo.

OK can you guys please dedicate even half the energy you collectively use critiquing Empire of AI to also critique the massive work of harmful pseudoscience by Yud and Soares that was also a NYT Bestseller

The statement is part of a public discourse as it engages in a discussion about the reception and criticism of certain books, touching on issues of public interest such as media influence, agenda-pushing in literature, and the impact of pseudoscience.

  1. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism of a book and its reception, referencing reviews from reputable sources. However, it does not engage directly with the content of the book or the arguments presented by others in the conversation, instead focusing on the perceived neglect of criticism by others. This could be seen as a missed opportunity for constructive dialogue.聽[-1]
