By “second-order rationality”, I mean the study of rationally reasoning about other people’s rationality in order to inform us about the world. And by "system rationality", I mean designing systems to intentionally elicit, evaluate, and aggregate beliefs.

I heard of someone who had a dating "bounty" where the bounty was to chose their first child's middle name. I really like that idea / could even become a tradition! Although, I guess you'd also need to specify "if the other parent agrees to do that".

referring to sentient AIs as "technology" feels wrong to me in a similar way that using that term to refer to humans born from genetically selected/edited embryos would; it has a connotation of tools devoid of personhood

Many people judge fear. They notably judge fear of death. Yet, I think many of them fear too. They fear living – fear the kind of world they would get reanimated in if they got cryopreserved. They even fear fearing – and so they avoid thinking about this in the first place.
