I was going to post an issue I had with this article, personally.
What is most important to me is my intent to live for a very, very long time. Assuming I do better on average, I will end at a very high place! But how can living forever be more important to me than my own life? It obviously can’t. But I think I see it now; it’s more important to me than anything else.
Who cares what anyone thinks of my desire? I’ll do whatever it takes, and I don’t mean I’ll give it a shot!
Second in importance to me is giving everyone else a chance to live a long time as well. I can’t say that this is more important to me than my own life, but it coincides with the first one anyway.
ahoy.
I have much to say about myself, but I don’t consider it worth most people’s time, so I’ll spare most of it.
I am currently going through the sequences and had no intention of commenting on any post or writing anything until I had finished all of them. I have to admit, though, it’s really quite difficult to “stay on” the sequences. I have a hundred-something tabs of lesswrong open right now, and it has come to a point where I am understanding them all pretty fully.
EDIT: Issue is under control. All is going well.
I would have preferred a better welcome for myself, but this is acceptable!
