Willingness to hug people at LW meetups.
Is this a rationality skill?
It’s a mind hack to help one consider fellow LWers as part of one’s “tribe”.
It seems to me to be a rationality skill, in the sense of consciously exploiting human cognitive biases in the service of one’s own goals.
Or it’s a very mild form of cult “love bombing”.
consciously exploiting human cognitive biases in the service of one’s own goals.
An anti-rationality skill then?
Indeed.
