My understanding is that “complex cluelessness” is not essentially identical to”deep uncertainty”, although “deep uncertainty” could mean a few things and I’m not sure exactly what you have in mind.
My understanding is also that the term is not essentially identical to “uncertainty” “Knightian uncertainty” “wicked problems” “extreme model uncertainty” or “fragile credences”
I do however think that EAs often use the term “cluelessness” incorrectly in a way that makes it more similar to these other terms. I think this is because cluelessness is a confusing topic to wrap ones head around correctly.
Hmmm … I am not sure what it means that EAs use the term “cluelessness” incorrectly. I honestly never hear the term used outside of EA. So have been I assuming the way EAs use it is the only way (and hence correct), so maybe I have been using it incorrectly.
Would love some more clarity if you have time to provide it!
As far as I can tell
“complex clulessness” as defined by Hilary here just seems to be one specific form of (or maybe specific way of rephrasing) deep uncertainty , so a subcategory of “Knightian uncertainty” as defined by Wikipedia or “Deep uncertainty” as defined here.
“clulessness” as it is most commonly used by EAs seems to be the same as “Knightian uncertainty” as defined by Wikipedia or “deep uncertainty” as defined here.

Is that correct?
