Is it a coordination problem if someone takes unnecessary risk to try and prevent someone else from taking unnecessary risk? Sounds like (bad) government with extra steps.

Eigen is wrong here.
Daniel Penny is a USMC veteran trained to do the right thing even when no one else is looking, do the right thing even with no reward, and do the right thing even when the world turns against him.
The USMC trains a bias for action. To take decisive action when it matters most. He did take decisive action.
The QTs imply that the behavior of the men of the bystanders is shameful. Is it?
For one, look where the event occurs in a NYC subway station.
NYC is the definition of a victim state. You are legally not allowed to protect yourself in New York City, and many of the laws, specifically on guns, have been lawfully fought on Constitutional grounds. So, the government in New York is already violating the rights of the citizens. This city will watch as you are victimized and then punish you for thinking you have a right to protect yourself. Will the police come to your rescue? Maybe, probably not in time.
An interesting question can arise about Daniel's actions. The state's monopoly on violence is only moral if it uses it justly. Therefore, the state's actors can have a reasonable bias against vigilantism. The interplay between vigilantism, vengeance, and justice is at the heart of the legal system. Was Daniel's action just? Not really from a state's actors' perspective; it was vigilantism.
But is New York City a place where good men can be expected to be treated justly? No.
So, asking an arbitrary man to intervene where good men are punished for good deeds incorrectly understands the environment. To shame these men, one would have had to be willing to take the same actions and suffer the same consequences for them.
Would Darbra have been willing to defend the people being attacked on the subway? If not, she is part of the problem. She expects better men to do what must be done and is willing to discard whoever is caught in the crossfire.
There is a shame that should go around, though. It is the shame not of the man who has his responsibilities and takes care of them and therefore cannot intervene but the shame of the incompetent government officials who allow these situations to occur.
The government officials are incompetent, and the incompetence is downright evil.
Jordan Neely, the man who was killed in the incident, was a homeless individual going through a bout of untreated schizophrenia with an extensive criminal history.
The City of New York steals money from its taxpayers and pretends to solve homelessness, help schizophrenics, and keep criminals away from the general public. Because of these deceits by public officials and good men who say nothing about the government's failures, this situation occurs, and sadly, it happens very often.
In a just society, good men need not be compelled to do the right thing. A just society will reward good men. New York City is not a just society. Daniel Penny was a vigilante; many vigilantes are laudable. Had Penny not intervened, we'd likely have one less dead body and a few more rights violations. A more callous person might discard Jordan Neely. Neely was violating someone's rights, and therefore, his rights were forfeited. Maybe a more compassionate person might argue that Neely could not rationally violate anyone's rights. Homelessness and schizophrenia make people incapable of dealing with the world rationally, and therefore, we as a society ought to try our best to fix those ailments.
Either way, the government's evil incompetence puts good men and the downtrodden in lose-lose situations. Penny is an honorable man, but Darbra understands nothing about honor. You don't honor Penny by talking about shaming men who have their own lives and responsibilities. You honor Penny by fixing the laws in New York City and firing every state actor who believes this is a good prosecution, and if you can't do that, then you shame all of the taxpayers in New York City who won't do it.
darbra is correctly identifying shameful behavior on the part of men
the men who are angry at her are correctly identifying shameful behavior by our society toward men who behave honorably, no question
and also, i think the men yelling at her are reacting out of their own shame

The only protest is one in which you are armed with a rifle. So all of these âprotestsâ around the world where citizens are banned from owning guns aren't protests. They are groups of sadly mistaken and feckless people begging their overlord tyrants to notice their useless squawking. This eventually may lead to rampant violence and riots because the only thing that brings about change in these circumstances is the show of controlled use of force.
If you don't understand this and your liberal professor got you politically activated enough to protest but didn't arm you, then you were failed by their misunderstanding of how things in this world work.
Please. Don't. Mention. Indian independence or the U.S. Civil rights movement. I don't want to laugh at your misunderstanding of those events.
If you still misunderstand. I'm not saying non-violence isn't possible, but that armed non-violence is required.

Nope, itâs not like evolution is optimizing to some goal per se (other than environmental fitness), itâs running trillions of experiments and these are the local ones that have survived.
Another question is how hybridized is this butterflies speciation event.

Based on what I'm reading on TL, I can get the vibe of the shooter's philosophy and why the shooter did what he did.
Above-average IQ and constant pain don't mix. I know I have both. Sure, he may have fancied some of the ideas that he had read, but they don't cause action. No, but the constant pain with no end in sight? That can push a man to act irrationally regarding how long he wants to live. His sympathetic nervous system is shot. His flight or fight response is no longer responding how a normal person should, so he manually controls his emotional responses instead of having them on autopilot. Every moment of his day is torn between his fascination with abstractions and the idea that the only way to get rid of the pain is death. One might think that he was ideologically motivated, and he probably was to some extent, but only in so much the ideology is a rationalistic way to justify his genuine need to die. You see, he is much too bright to want to throw away his life in pointless suicide; no, instead, if he is going to die to get rid of the pain, he will do it ambitiously. So, he has the backdrop of abstract underpinnings and picks a target. The target didn't matter much in the end. He kills in cold blood. He hopes that this action, while vile, pushes the world further in the direction that his ideology demands. He could have stayed hidden, but it didn't interest him anymore. He wanted to get caught. He wants to die.
This explanation does not say he is morally absolved or couldn't have made different choices. He is still a volitional agent and will still have to live with the consequences of his actions.

My predictions for e/acc over the next 30 years.
3 people on here will make a billion dollars.
4 people on here will make an AGI.
2 people on here will get the species off planet.
4 people on here will develop bio-synthetic neurophysiological adapters.
1 person will martyr themself.
1 person will tragically switch sides.
1 person will heroically save the species.
What are your predictions for e/acc?

Imagine if it was more calories and you ran out of energy while hunting a woolly mammoth. The whole point of long-distance running is so that you can do it for basically ever. Humans and about one breed of dog are the only animals known to run nonstop.

i wrote a response to this called
Reasoning Beyond Machines
it explains why we should intuitively expect o1-like models not to do well in inductive domains
i wrote a new essay called
The Problem with Reasoners
where i discuss why i doubt o1-like models will scale beyond narrow domains like math and coding (link below)

the funny thing is this that there really isnât an ethical issue with informed self-experimentation. in fact any time anyone does any exploration outside of their known environment to acquire new knowledge is a form of experimentation.

Actually, i think isnât that hard to hypothesize.
1. Visual signals take up about 90% of signals that the body processes.
2. Visual signals are highly dissimilar as compared to other types of signals.
3. Inability to properly deal with dissimilarity is typically what is meant by schizophrenia.
4. This is inability to deal with dissimilarity usually appears in the form of auditory hallucination.
5. With the brain not processing visual signals, it can offload that processing to make sure it can properly differentiate sounds.
6. Because all signals are being properly differentiated schizo-typical behaviors donât arise while patterns are being recognized.
Or something.

What is Maneuver Accelerationism?
Maneuver Accelerationism is a worldview about man's relationship to reality and a strategy for overcoming and adapting to a rapidly changing environment.
Effective accelerationism understands the failure of top-down controls on systems, and the inevitability of metaphysically given facts. Ultimately, cause and effect dictates how systems change and develop. On the political level, effective accelerationism sees human force being used to suppress/stop markets as a futile endeavor. However, this is false, because humans could stop markets. Itâs only that stopping markets would destroy us all. Accepting that markets are the way forward, e/acc recognizes the growth of complex systems. As the complexity of these systems grow, they reach the capacity of the human mind and may one day surpass it. Ultimately there is no determination made on the morality of these facts. They are simply facts.
Maneuver Acceleration, or MAN/acc, makes the moral determination that in all future outcomes, humanity survives.
Whether the complex systems are friends or foes, humans will be adapted to whatever environment, whatever challenge, whatever task, is required for the survival of the species. We will continue to create more complex systems to deal with the challenging tasks. Currently, the rate of growth for artificial systems surpasses the rate of growth for humans. MAN/acc is a systematic approach towards remedying this inadequacy.
MAN/acc seeks to create stronger humans. It is a human acceleration project.
We recognize that there have been both good and bad concepts, and that these concepts have led to different outcomes for not only man, but the project of civilization as a whole. The Maneuver Acceleration project aims to systematically alter the mind of man, as it is the software running on man that will determine the outcome of all future struggle, all conflict. In this way, Maneuver Acceleration is aligned with the transhumanist project.
Currently it seems that many are worried that the biological substrate of man will not be able to compete with potential artificial adversaries. This fallacy is a product of the belief that conflict is not won through the mind. The outcome of conflict is decided by people, not technology.
Man's mind has overcome every task that nature has assigned. But this is also not an inevitability. In order to overcome, man must use reason as his primary means of survival. MAN/acc seeks to accelerate that ability to reason, through better reasoning, quicker decisions, and decisive actions. This heightened agency in aggregate will allow a weaker foe to triumph over a stronger foe. Even though man has no claws or fangs, man has maneuvered through every environment that he has chosen to explore. The future will be no different.
We will maneuver and we will win.
