At some point I wrote a reply to a new comer to LW that basically said leave lesswrong and study science, math and philosophy or something like that. It was emotionally charged and undeserved. It reflected my emotionally state at the time and was unreasoned. I can’t find it anymore, but feel ashamed of that illconsidered advise. Unfortunately I can’t find the reply to retract it, but if anyone happens to see that, is convinced, then checks out my post history, maybe they’ll see this and reconsider. If nothing else, writing this clears my conscience.
