I’ve noticed that I got less and less judgmental, the more rational I got and I noticed a similar lack of judgment in the writing style of others around here. I suppose once you boot out beliefs like free will, or become more aware of biases like the “fundamental attribution mistake” (the tendency to interpret the behavior of others in terms of their dispositional character, instead of their situational circumstances), there is little room left to judge.
Judging people (in the personal, emotionally laden way) just seems like a waste of time. So where did I get the impression you ask? Well it’s just the sheer absence of judgmental language it in the way people write around here, and I’m not under the impression that it’s just being repressed for reasons of social etiquette. Perhaps I’m assuming too much by inferring from myself and projecting onto others, but I’ll just make that assumption for now and continue to update on new evidence as it rolls in.

Sure, the people around here aren’t judgmental, but the last LW/OB meetup I went to, Suicide Rock was there, and let me tell you that thing couldn’t have been more sanctimonious.
Where did you get that impression? (I’m not disagreeing, just asking.)
