Two More Hanson Posts
1. Hanson replies to my claims about his Tautological Fallacy.
2. The top two results for the Name Robin’s Creatures survey are Sentients and Intelligent Agents. Background: Robin initially did a small Facebook survey. The top two choices were Agents and Intelligences. I bet Robin $50 at 2:1 in my favor that a larger, broader survey would put at least one different answer in the top two. Upshot: Robin owes me $100. If I were him, I’d probably just settle on Sentients. While I’d quibble with the philosophical overtones, using the word “Sentients” will spare his readers a lot of pointless confusion.
