114 – Epistemic Rigor and BLM


Listen Later

Do BLM protests give people a correct impression of the fundamental problem with the police, and is that important as long as shit gets fixed? All sorts of disagreement today.

Campaign Zero’s list of reforms. This is not actually a BLM list, as we had originally thought.

The official BLM site has no policy demands or requests aside from “#Defund the Police” which is vauge to say the least.

Movement For Black Lives isn’t BLM either. They have a bit of a manifesto calling to End The War on Black People.

Yudkowsky’s Comprehensive Reboot of Law Enforcement has more to recommend it than anything BLM is putting forth at the time of this posting, which is surprising.
