[Link] The Typical Mind Fallacy, Illustrated
post by pjeby · 2011-09-02T17:22:44.526Z · LW · GW · Legacy · 3 commentsIf you've ever wanted a quick way to explain the Typical Mind Fallacy, this cartoon by Winston Rowntree will do the trick nicely.
(Panel 3 seems of particular relevance to LessWrongians, and the last two panels also remind me of Hufflepuff/Slytherin themes in HP:MOR.)
Enjoy!

The whole strip/series is a goldmine. It seems full of Less Wrong ideas. Or maybe I'm starting to see "Less Wrong ideas" everywhere as I assemble a worldview for myself out of Less Wrong.
In any case it's really good literature.
