Search Ideas

What if they still have subscriptions or bookmarks in that discussion?

Might have some more virtues to include.

Need a search form per discussion.

This functionality is pretty standard across apps. You can be removed from Discord servers, Telegram channels, etc without warning or reason at any time. People generally know and accept this. If they still put in effort, that’s on them.

That depends on a bunch of factors, including their relationship with the discussion owner, into which Veritula has no visibility.

But then invitees might not put as much effort into those discussions.

That risk could be clearly communicated in the UI.

But that sucks. Maybe someone works hard and submits a bunch of ideas only to lose access to them all.

Maybe you remove them because you don’t even want them to be able to see anything.

There’d probably be a bunch of edge cases with this approach. For example, others would still be able to comment on those ideas, and the comments would have to be hidden from OPs. Which begs the question of how that impacts the displayed criticism count… And so on.

If you later realize that adding someone was a mistake, you should be able to correct that mistake.

Permanent access: once added, you can’t remove them.

They could keep read-only access to the discussion but can’t add new ideas or change existing ideas.

They could keep access to their own ideas but not see others’.

There could be hard cutoff: they lose access to everything, including their own ideas in that discussion.

What happens if you add a user to a private discussion, they submit a bunch of ideas, and then you remove them?

My critique of David Deutsch’s The Beginning of Infinity as a programmer. In short, his ‘hard to vary’ criterion at the core of his epistemology is fatally underspecified and impossible to apply.

Deutsch says that one should adopt explanations based on how hard they are to change without impacting their ability to explain what they claim to explain. The hardest-to-change explanation is the best and should be adopted. But he doesn’t say how to figure out which is hardest to change.

A decision-making method is a computational task. He says you haven’t understood a computational task if you can’t program it. He can’t program the steps for finding out how ‘hard to vary’ an explanation is, if only because those steps are underspecified. There are too many open questions.

So by his own yardstick, he hasn’t understood his epistemology.

My critique of David Deutsch’s The Beginning of Infinity as a programmer. In short, his ‘hard to vary’ criterion at the core of his epistemology is fatally underspecified and impossible to apply.

He says one should adopt explanations based on how hard they are to change while still explaining what they claim to explain. The hardest-to-change explanation is the best and should be adopted. But he doesn’t say how to figure out which is hardest to change.

Could this feature be unified with #2811 somehow?

Could this feature be unified with #2669 somehow?

Then people could occasionally check the second tab for ideas they think they can rationally hold but actually can’t. And then they can work on addressing criticisms. A kind of ‘mental housekeeping’ to ensure they never accidentally accept problematic ideas as true.
