  Zelalem Mekonnen addressed criticism #1875.

Now I’m submitting a criticism that contains a flaw. It has a tpyo.

Try counter-critizing my criticism by pointing out the typo. Observe that the red label saying ‘Criticized’ on #1874 disappears once you submit your criticism.

In other words, your counter-criticism ‘neutralizes’ my criticism.

Revising ideas and submitting counter-criticisms are the two ways to address criticisms.

There is a typo in "[i]t has a tpyo."

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #1865.

The red ‘Criticized’ label shows how many outstanding criticisms an idea has. For example ‘Criticized (5)’ means the idea has five outstanding criticisms.

But if there are lots of comments, including non-criticisms and addressed criticisms, it’s hard to identify outstanding criticisms.

There should be an easy way to filter comments of a given idea down to only outstanding criticisms.

#1865·Dennis HackethalOP, 1 day ago

There could be a separate button to filter comments down.

  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #1874.

If I understand Veritula correctly, we first start with an idea. We accept the idea as true until it has received a criticism. In which case, until the current criticism isn't resolved, the idea is tentatively seen as false and makes no sense to live in accordance to it. We don't submit bulk ideas or criticisms. Ideas (including criticisms), even if they are related should generally be submitted separately. Also, avoid duplicate ideas.

… must be their its own.

You’ve introduced a new typo. You should get in the habit of carefully reviewing your texts before you submit them.

If you change “Each idea and criticism, even if they are related must be their its own” to ‘Ideas (including criticisms) should generally be submitted separately even if related’, you get to address both current criticisms.

The word ‘must’ is too strict here. As I explained in #1870, ideas should generally be submitted separately, but there are exceptions.

What if the point an author is trying to make takes multiple ideas? Say we are talking about comic books and I say "DC comics are better than Marvel, because Thor is a better character than Superman, even thou Batman might be a better character than Iron man?"

#1864·Zelalem Mekonnen, 1 day ago

Good question. That can happen.

It’s ultimately at the author’s discretion. It’s generally best practice to submit one idea at a time.

However, if the author is aware of the risk of receiving bulk criticism but decides the risk is worth the benefit of including multiple ideas in a single post – because multiple ideas are required to make this particular post coherent, say – then that’s his prerogative.

It varies by situation and requires good judgment.

We don't do bulk criticism. Each criticism, even if they are related must be in its own.

It’s true that each criticism should be submitted separately, but that’s not related to bulk criticism in the way you seem to be suggesting.

Imagine a post containing multiple ideas. Then a single criticism of that post will make it look as though all of the ideas in that post are problematic. If the criticism actually only applies to a subset of the ideas, that’s bulk criticism.

For example, somebody submits a post saying: ‘I love Batman. I love Spider-Man.’ Then somebody else criticizes the post by saying ‘Batman sucks because <some reasoning>.’ Now it looks like Spider-Man has received criticism, too, even though the criticism only applies to Batman.

See if you want to change the quoted passage to: ‘We submit only one idea at a time. Same for criticisms.’

  Dennis Hackethal commented on idea #1630.

Synonymous indeed. In a previous video I labeled Deutsch's terms to make them easier to discuss and get a better sense for. You're correct that the specific mapping I use is:
Statements = explicit knowledge
Intuitions = inexplicit knowledge
Drives = unconscious knowledge

#1630·Edwin de WitOP, about 2 months ago

In light of (at the time of writing) three outstanding criticisms of your new terminology (#1630), what do you plan to do, if anything?

Some ideas: if you disagree with the criticisms, we could discuss further; if you agree, we could come up with ways to correct the error, like (just spitballing here) revising your terminology going forward or posting disclaimers on previous publications.

Either way, it would be good to reach some sort of conclusion.

#1861·Dennis HackethalOP, 1 day ago

I’ve now submitted three criticisms at once. Recall that addressing them requires two steps: changing your idea and deselecting the criticisms your change addresses.

You can address all three criticisms in the same revision, as I believe you’ve done before. Or you can divvy it up. That’s up to you.

Addressing criticisms and not being easily overwhelmed when you receive multiple criticisms at once are both crucial aspects of rationality. You’re on the right track.

Well done. Now let’s practice addressing multiple criticisms at once. Here’s the first one:

[W]e first start with an idea/conjecture.

It need not be a conjecture. It could be a conclusion of some other train of thought, say. I recommend changing it from “idea/conjecture” to just ‘idea’.

There’s a typo: “it's” should be ‘its’ (no apostrophe).

See if you can revise your idea to address this criticism. Remember, there are two steps: changing the spelling and deselecting this criticism.

#1856·Dennis HackethalOP, 2 days ago

The gap between "it's" and "its" is big. My lack of paying attention to detail is becoming more and more obvious. In any case.
