Comment by r.s on Whence Your Abstractions? · 2008-11-21T05:57:25.000Z · LW · GW

Let's stop using hammers and Socrates and talk about what real tools you both are using to harness your intuitions. Whence the confidence, Eliezer? Whence the doubt, Robin?

I get the feeling you are getting closer in the last comment Robin, but I still can't get through that dense block of text to get a feel for what you're getting at.

Kudos to both of you for standing honorably by such a heated and potentially enlightening discussion.
