would be great to see you here being a contrarian reasonably often. it looks like your takes would significantly improve sanity on the relevant topics if you drop by to find things to criticize every month or few, eg looking at top of the month or etc. you sound like you’ve interacted with folks here before, but if not—this community generally takes being yelled at constructively rather well, and having someone who is known to represent a worldview that confuses people here would likely help them take fewer bad actions under the shared portions of that worldview. obviously do this according to taste, might not be a good use of time, maybe the list of disagreements is too long, maybe criticizing feels weird to do too much, whatever else, but your points seem pretty well made and informative. I saw on your blog you mentioned the risk of being an annoying risk-describer, though. this comment is just, like, my opinion, man
Appreciate the encouragement. I don’t think I’ve previously had a lesswrong account, and I usually avoid the place because the most popular posts do in fact make me want to yell at whoever posted them.
On the pro side I love yelling at people, I am perpetually one degree of separation from here on any given social graph anyway, and I was around when most of the old magic was written so I don’t think the lingo is likely to be a problem.
