[One might have to selectively apply MGM amnesia to MGM’s own teachings.. ]
Aaronson-Carroll’s quest (and indeed Kolmogorov, Prigogine, AND MGM’s ultimate quest (ergodicity econ))
is to move BEYOND what you just quoted of MGM.
(So that old teaching which you had for decades kept in cache is an instance of MGM being correct in a boring way)(you might have been paying attention to my attempts to draw out experts recently?)
[i get why experts on quests prefer to stay silent on HN, so, dabblers, blowhards, and cranks are acceptable]
