Robin Hanson (21 October 2007), comment on Eliezer Yudkowsky's "Pascal's Mugging: Tiny Probabilities of Vast Utilities", LessWrong: "People have been talking about assuming that states with many people hurt have a low (prior) probability. It might be more promising to assume that states with many people hurt have a low correlation with what any random person claims to be able to effect."
