Hi, I've been an independent, non-academic philosopher for over 20 years. I was mentored by David Deutsch for a decade and I helped him with The Beginning of Infinity. I'm no longer a fan of Deutsch and I have commentary, much of it critical, on Deutsch's work:
Fundamental Philosophical Errors in Taking Children Seriously
The Historicism of David Deutsch
Analysis of David Deutsch’s The Final Prejudice
David Deutsch Smears Ayn Rand
Deutsch Misquoted Turing
Misquotes by David Deutsch
You can contact me at [email protected] if you want to discuss further.
Awesome. I think most people do not do that.
You want me to talk to a lawyer to know how quotes and your new CC BY stuff works? (E.g. if I quote from my own article while link posting it, possibly the entire thing, does that keep anything quoted out of CC BY?) You aren't willing to clarify that yourselves and just want individuals to go pay lawyers to find out how your forum works? That seems very unreasonable.
Also
That qualifier doesn't appear to apply to the moral right waiving.

Wait your terms say you are allowed to delete my name from my posts and use my content without attribution. Why? And is this new or old? Where can I read change history of the terms or something like that? The good faith thing seems basically nonbinding/meaningless legally, and also doesn't apply whenever you decide it's impractical or you're doing something privately.
Why do you want people to waive moral rights? I saw the same thing in Less Wrong's terms today but did not find any explanation of the upside.

So EA violated this term – they could have emailed or DMed me but didn't, and also gave no notice when i commented.
Also the terms don't specify that the CC BY stuff doesn't apply before dec 1, 2022. They should. Someone reading the terms might think that all the old stuff is CC BY and act accordingly. The terms should also include the relevant text from the older terms so people know what terms still, today, govern all the older posts. Deleting the terms that still actively govern older posts today from the terms of use doesn't make sense.
Do you have the link to the terms of use? I have been unable to find it so far. EDIT: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/termsOfUse
Does the EA forum have a terms of use document, or something similar, which gives details of the new (and old) rules? I couldn't find it with a quick search. EDIT: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/termsOfUse
How do quotes interact with CC BY?
Thank you for following the game rules. You're the only person out of four who did that.
BTW, I think that 25% rule-following rate is important evidence about the world, and rates much lower than 100% would be repeatable for many types of simple, clear rules that people voluntarily opt into. It's a major concern for my debate policy proposals: you can put conditions on debates such as that people follow certain methodology, including regarding how to stop debating, and people can agree to those conditions ... and then just break their word later (which has happened to me before).
You appear to be in violation of the game rules because you haven't opted into a debate or opted out of debating.
