Daniel Jeffries(@Dan_Jeffries1):When you have a magical constant that you can inject into any equation to make the equation magically work, like Superintelligence, then you can convince yourself of anything. It's similar to extreme religious arguments. Q: "Why are you doing that?" A: "Well the book told me to." Q: "Well who wrote the book?" A: "God." Q: "Well did he really or was it just some ordinary people?" A: "Divinely inspired people." Q: "Okay but like how did you know that?" A "Because the book told me so." And round and round you go.
