Do we live in an adequate world? A new exploration of systemic failure and uncommon success. When should you think that you may be able to do something unusually well? Whether you’re trying to outperform in science, or in business, or just in finding good deals on eBay, it’s important that you have a sober understanding of your relative competencies. The story only ends there, however, if you’re fortunate enough to live in an adequate civilization. Eliezer Yudkowsky’s Inadequate Equilibria is a sharp and lively guidebook for anyone questioning when and how they can know better, and do better, than the status quo. Freely mixing debates on the foundations of rational decision-making with tips for everyday life, Yudkowsky explores the central question of when we can (and can’t) expect to spot systemic inefficiencies, and exploit them.

"I initially tried ordering the cheapest LED lights from Hong Kong that I could find on eBay. I didn’t feel like I could rely on the US lighting market to equalize prices with Hong Kong, and so I wasn’t confident that the premium price for US LED bulbs represented a quality difference. But when the cheap lights finally arrived from Hong Kong, they were dim, inefficient, and of visibly low color quality. So I decided to buy the more expensive US light bulbs for my next design iteration." In which our hero discovers that you get what you pay for.

In an ironic twist, the only living people who will suffer inconceivable afterlife torture at the hands of a hyperadvanced technology are a handful of cryo acolytes whose freeze-dried brains will be examined in some far future paleoresearch lab. "Oh hey we got a flicker of thought out of this one. No speech center, but it sure looked unhappy." I don't think they really explore all the possible "it hurrrts to be dead", "kill meeeee" etc. scenarios when making their CyberPascal's Wager.
