Quotes from Author: Eliezer Yudkowsky

If the box contains a diamond, I desire to believe that the box contains a diamond; If the box does not contain a diamond, I desire to believe that the box does not contain a diamond; Let me not become attached to beliefs I may not want. - Litany of Tarsky

Eliezer Yudkowsky,

“If you never fail, you’re only trying things that are too easy and playing far below your level.” Or, phrased as a standard Umeshism: “If you can’t remember any time in the last six months when you failed, you aren’t trying to do difficult enough things.”

Eliezer Yudkowsky, 2018
