@imhinesmi @visakanv Did they speculate on the explanation? @otrasenda_AC I vaguely remember @nntaleb writing about experts tend to underestimate risks in their area of expertise. Is my recollection correct? This sounds related.

Maybe this was obvious to everyone else, but it's only just occurred to me that most philosophy of ethics is actually a philosophy of ethically persuasive arguments rather than of ethical behaviour, and it makes way more sense read that way.

"People who do XYZ need to take a class in moral philosophy" is very "Tell me you've never taken a class in moral philosophy without telling me you've never taken a class in moral philosophy"
