I think other formats are better for me than writing comments back and forth.
Curious what formats. (E.g. I’m happy to have a call to be published on YouTube; we could do a private discussion, though that’s not my preference.)
Just for the public record:
I feel like I’ve personally engaged with your arguments a decent amount
I don’t agree with this (e.g. I doubt either Greenblatt or I could give a high-quality ITT of the other’s view, and I expect that one or both of us would update substantively if we understood each other).
Is it your experience that if someone comes to understand your view, they update significantly towards it, even if they had an elaborate-ish short timeline view beforehand?
Yes, but this is an extremely weak signal, in that it’s a small number (n=2 to 5 or something, depending who you count) and it’s pretty selected for “people who talk to me a lot or people who actively tell me that I updated them somewhat”, and I have a high bar for understanding (for both parties symmetrically). Abram might be someone who somewhat understands my view but only slightly updated towards it?
Thanks!
