@evan Yes, but some bad ideas may be cognitohazards and you don't need to deeply understand them to get why they're bad and worth avoiding.

I reluctantly cite Maciej (who himself seems to have fallen down some fascist rabbit holes) on superintelligence: https://idlewords.com/talks/superintelligence.htm

I like his discussion of "The Outside Argument", where you don't need to study superintelligence, simply look at "What kind of person does sincerely believing this stuff turn you into?" Superintelligence nuts suck.
