If every private message on lesswrong or every cold email you ever wrote has received a response, you are either spending too much time writing them, are very young or aren’t sending enough of them.
I would also add: if in the group chat your messages spark lots of conversation every time, this chat is underexploited (you are not sending enough/thinking too much).
(Conversely, if your messages are ignored, spend a little bit more time on them)
I was just trying to adjust a loophole that often seemed to be missing in Umeshisms, but I think this made my statement more confusing:
if you are 15 years old (the particular age is irrelevant, I am just saying an age exists), then you having sent 1-2 cold emails is not too little, nor did you invest too much time, you are just young and there weren’t that many worthy occasions yet.
If you have just taken a single flight in your life and missed 0, this is not large evidence that you spend too much time at airports.

Is this an Umeshism?

Why would that affect the frequency of the responses? How would receivers even deduce the age of the sender?
