Huh, yeah, that sure refers to those as “debugging”. I’ve never really heard Leverage people use those words, but Leverage 1.0 was a quite insular and weird place towards the end of its existence, so I must have missed it.
I think it’s kind of reasonable to use Leverage as evidence that people in the EA and Rationality community are kind of crazy and have indeed updated on the quotes being more grounded (though I also feel frustration with people equivocating between EA, Rationality and Leverage).
(Relatedly, I don’t particularly love you calling Leverage “rationalist” especially in a context where I kind of get the sense you are trying to contrast it with “EA”. Leverage has historically been much more connected to the EA community, and indeed had almost successfully taken over CEA leadership in ~2019, though IDK, I also don’t want to be too policing with language here)
