Seemed to me like confused thinking, not confused writing, or I would’ve acted otherwise. You can tell people to write better. Thinking better is a matter of years if it gets done at all.
Thank you, LauraABJ. My language is not precise enough to match the level of eg Eliezer. My experience has mostly been with children. My experience justifies a rather extreme position: objectification of conscious experience, especially in the form of writing, is inherently misleading if our objective is to comprehend the human condition. That is, although I respect linguistic control, there are strict limits that prevent words from carrying the levels of comprehension we are seeking. Hence, the adoption of maths. I was so enthused by the articles here, I got carried away...
Thank you, Eliezer; in the balance between writing and thinking, my writing is worse. I do apologise, but in the same way I have been premature with my commentary to the LW site, you may have been premature with your judgement of my thinking. I have thought and rethought my words here, and the best I can come up with is this. This community, and especially you, have had the time to explore your ideas and develop a system of thinking. This is clearly very powerful, and it attracts bright minds (even as non-verbal as my own). I have also developed a system of thinking, and it mostly relies on dynamics that are not based entirely on the mechanics of words—hence my disadvantage here. There is an overlap, thankfully: mathematics. With further reading into the application of bayes’ theorem on this site, I hope to contribute something useful, in a manner acceptable, such that our goals are brought closer.

I had hoped that by asking him to write clearly, he would need to have a point to make clear. You are probably right that this is not the case.
