Ben, that sounds right to me. I also agree with what Paul said. And my intent was to talk about what you call temporal wildness, not what you call structural wildness.
I agree with both you and Arden that there is a certain sense in which the “conservative” view seems significantly less “wild” than my view, and that a reasonable person could find the “conservative” view significantly more attractive for this reason. But I still want to highlight that it’s an extremely “wild” view in the scheme of things, and I think we shouldn’t impose an inordinate burden of proof on updating from that view to mine.
