niplav's original blog post identifies several risks (humans may choose evil; a generally less predictable world could lead to lower welfare; God may smite those who actively choose evil), but there are several others. Most notably, libertarian free will breaks important notions of choice: without the ability[^1] to run and accurately predict that you will run a specific decision algorithm consistently, you cannot for instance [cooperate in a prisoner's dilemma with an identical copy of yourself](https://joecarlsmith.com/2021/08/27/can-you-control-the-past/#ii-writing-on-whiteboards-light-years-away) secure in the knowledge that your copy will also cooperate, because even if you cooperate the identical copy may defect using free will (and vice versa), even though this results in better outcomes (under good decision theories). While you could argue that you would simply not choose to defect, it is definitionally not possible to bound libertarian-free-willed decisions, and so an agent using free will is forced to reason in a more indexically selfish fashion and not reap the benefits of [bad outcomes being inconsistent](https://intelligence.org/2017/04/07/decisions-are-for-making-bad-outcomes-inconsistent/).
Libertarian free will makes minds (or at least minds with the same behaviours as free-willed ones) uncomputable, as there is simply no place in the formalisms of computation for free will to enter the computations and produce different results. We could imagine free will intervening on the physical mechanisms of the computers instantiating such a mind instead, but this runs into the [longstanding problem](https://gregegan.net/PERMUTATION/FAQ/FAQ.html) that what computation a physical object is executing is not well-defined, and would quite probably break debuggers and important software security assumptions. Digital minds/uploaded humans are [important to](https://www.cold-takes.com/how-digital-people-could-change-the-world/) many possible good long-term futures, though this does reduce [s-risks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_of_astronomical_suffering) if non-free-willed entities are not considered moral patients.

It would also create alignment concerns: by the [free will theorem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will_theorem) and known physics, if humans have access to libertarian free will then so must some elementary particles. Elementary particles' current behaviour is currently well-characterized and generally safe, but we have no idea of the true motivations and beliefs underlying it. Electrons, for example, if unconstrained, may well choose to act in service of goals opposed to our own - extremely dangerous, embedded as they are in our society and technology. Giving fundamental particles free will may also add enormous suffering to the universe (or happiness, but current ethonophysics is unable to determine which) if this is indeed associated with moral patienthood.

## Methods of destruction
* Fixed-history time travel: if the universe permits time travel, and the mechanics of time travel require that history is unchangeable, then setting up time loops could substantially limit free will, as choices which would make the loop inconsistent could not occur. However, the loop could serve as enough of an information bottleneck to leave most events underconstrained - for instance, a message with a few news headlines would be consistent with many different universe microstates. This could be slightly mitigated by transmitting e.g. a hash of very fine-grained widely-distributed sensor feeds, but there is necessarily much less information transmitted than the time machine's past lightcone contains. More concerningly, prevention of the inconsistent time loop may instead be implemented by making the initiation of the time loop not happen, or by destroying the universe.

* Direct removal of the ontological entity may be much cheaper than bringing it into existence (would be): it is said that [God was killed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_is_dead), or at least caused to be dead, in the 1700s1800s. World real GDP at this time was ~1% of today's, so assuming ontotechnological engineering costs do not grow much faster than inflation, this is proportionally much cheaper today than e.g. historic space programs and the railways.
* If computer simulations of free-willed beings are not free-willed, replacement of all humans and other such beings with computer models would mitigate many risks, though it would also be necessary to remove all particles with free will for complete coverage, which is uneconomical.

This might not be bad, even if it feels inelegant[^1], except for the fact that I almost never search by any of them. The natural and obvious commonalities between pages are often things like what field their content belongs to or what topics they talk about. But I've never had a good reason to read, for instance, everything I have ever written down about abstract algebra, and I don't think this would be a desirable way to arrange a blog either. To fix this, we need to disentangle the several functions of tags: surfacing related pages or posts, describing them to a reader who has found them another way, and augmenting searches. These have different requirements:
* Finding related content using tags benefits from many small tags (as long as they contain more than one entry), and/or bigger but compositional tags. Having a small set of (near-)orthogonal big tags is probably difficult, though (Zipf's law). Small tags are hard to keep track of, and are useless if relevant entries are tagged wrong.

Having a small set of (near-)orthogonal big tags is difficult, though (Zipf's law). Small tags are hard to keep track of, and are useless if relevant entries are tagged wrongly.
* Description using tags is a strange usecase, since most places which can fit tags can also fit a free text description. Tags can, however, allow for a more standardized, easily-skimmable vocabulary than free text. This blog currently uses them as more of a category system: pages are accent-colored in a few places based on the first tag with an associated color[^3], and pages can be associated with each other by links or being part of the same series.
* Using tags in search requires that the user can predict what tags their desired result has before seeing that result[^2]. This requires that the tags be predictable, regular and specific, and tailored to the kind of search queries which happen. [Fanfic tagging schemes circa 2010](https://idlewords.com/talks/fan_is_a_tool_using_animal.htm) are a good example of this working well. Minoteaur has a structured data system (separate from "tags" per se, since I didn't work out a clean way to unify them) where pages have a list of key/value pairs associated with them and searches can filter on these. It works well for simple things, but I ran into the usual tagging issues of inconsistency in labelling things, not being sure how to split and organize things and [difficulty refactoring](https://gwern.net/design#future-tag-features).

I'm not likely to implement this until/unless the cost of software goes down a lot, since my existing setup is mostly workable[^7], but I think this is an unexplored point in the space of notes.
For blogs, and external-facing writing generally, readers expect more linearity and structure, so novel free structures are probably not wise, and it's not as useful that the system might help find novel connections (as you can do this in your main notes and write them up). There is still a much cleaner way for blogs to do related pages than tags: [text embeddings](https://cameronharwick.com/writing/related-posts-in-wordpress-with-vector-embedding/) on post contents, which allow unsupervised (by you) clustering and similarity, and without the risk of having to manually overhaul your tag ontology. For some reason[^8], almost nobody does this. Most people's photograph organization also seems to be built around albums (categories, i.e. primitive tags or primitive hierarchies) and basic automated tagging, rather than the obviously superior technologies of [Meme Search Engine](https://github.com/osmarks/meme-search-engine)[^6]. Perhaps in time people will migrate.

"excerpt": "Paracetamol poisoning, also known as acetaminophen poisoning, is caused by excessive use of the medication paracetamol (acetaminophen).[2] Most people have few or non-specific symptoms in the first 24 hours following overdose. These symptoms include feeling tired, abdominal pain, or nausea. This is typically followed by absence of symptoms for a couple of days, after which yellowish skin, blood clotting problems, and confusion occurs as a result of liver failure. Additional complications may include kidney failure, pancreatitis, low blood sugar, and lactic acidosis. If death does not occur, people tend to recover fully over a couple of weeks.[3][4] Without treatment, death from toxicity occurs 4 to 18 days later.[5]",

They are typically composed of 80100 proteins per particle (organized by one, two or three ApoA). HDL particles enlarge while circulating in the blood, aggregating more fat molecules and transporting up to hundreds of fat molecules per particle.[2]",
