Now that the dust has settled, was this guy onto something about 'strange loops' and consciousness or was it all just schizo ramblings to cope with his mediocre career in math and physics?

I don't know what he said about consciousness, but superrationality is true.

I didn't understand the book and didn't finish it. But superrationality is true. I think that is basically what honor actually was, it meant you could trust the person to act superrationally (unlike dishonorable rational people)

Thinking about it when you ask, maybe there is a loop: The neocortex processes the senses as a sort of antoencoder. The results are sent to the cerebellum for some further processing, and, maybe, the results are again fed back into the neocortex (the autoencoder). It sort of makes sense. But I don't know.
