I’m confused—do you and Duncan know each other and you know that some of the examples involve you? The essay—reaction transcription—memory—thing doesn’t say “everyone does this to [Duncan]”, just that it happens over and over to Duncan. Or does the use of “you” make you feel like it’s written definitely to [the gears to ascension] among other people, as opposed to being written to quite a lot of people but not necessarily [the gears to ascension]?
I have had several arguments with him on lesswrong.com and generally I’m the type to get into unfortunate arguments and regret them. But my point here is, I have a weirdly intense reaction to this post. I want to say “same!” but I have no idea if it’s the same. Sleeping on it hasn’t clarified my thoughts. Sorry my comment doesn’t make a ton of sense—my thinking is consistently high temperature and crashy in some domains.
