Hi, this would be my second post. I got here from Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. I’ve decided to move to active participation, so not expecting to remain a lurker for long. However, I have more reading to do first (Sequences). You wouldn’t want an uninformed participant, especially if they’re as argumentative as I know myself to be.
Indeed, part of why I think this community might prove worth posting in is that, compared to most anywhere else, it doesn’t seem easy here to get away with just “having an opinion”—without putting in effort to understand what you’re talking about.
