Thanks for this, and for your other reading lists! Several of these links are new to me, and I expect to gradually work through these lists over a few weeks.
I also previously made a collection of discussions of epistemic modesty, ârationalist/âEA exceptionalismâ, and similar (but not cluelessness) on LessWrong. Here are the things from that list that arenât here or in Pabloâs comment:
Epistemic learned helplessnessâScott Alexander, 2019
AI, global coordination, and epistemic humilityâJaan Tallinn, 2018
From memory, I think a decent amount of Rationality: A-Z by Eliezer Yudkowsky is relevant
Somewhat less relevant/âsubstantial:
This comment/âquestionâme, 2020
Naming BeliefsâHal Finney, 2008
Likely relevant, but Iâm not yet sure how relevant as I havenât yet read it:
Are Disagreements Honest? - Cowen & Hanson, 2004
Uncommon Priors Require Origin DisputesâRobin Hanson, 2006
Aumannâs agreement theoremâWikipedia
On cluelessness, Iâd just note that I thought many of the comments on the EA Forum crosspost of Mogensenâs paper were interesting too.
Also relevant: Phil Trammellâs interesting, short post But have they engaged with the arguments?
