Thanks; yeah, I wasn’t writing carefully, but I didn’t mean to say that “I am a significantly better rationalist than anybody else on the planet”, I meant to say “there are important subskills of rationality where I seem to be at roughly the SingInst Research Fellow level of rationality and high above the Less Wrong poster level of rationality”. My apologies for being so unclear.
