Comments on “Limits to first-principles reasoning, reduction, and simulation”

I agree with pretty much all of this.

FWIW, Kevin Kelly coined the term “thinkism” for some of this:

Many proponents of an explosion of intelligence expect it will produce an explosion of progress. I call this mythical belief “thinkism.” It’s the fallacy that future levels of progress are only hindered by a lack of thinking power, or intelligence. (I might also note that the belief that thinking is the magic super ingredient to a cure-all is held by a lot of guys who like to think.)
