What is the correct amount of self praise? Do you have reasons to believe Isusr has made an incorrect evaluation regarding their aptitude? Do you believe that even if the evaluation is correct that the post is still harmful?
I find it quite reasonable that the LessWrong community could benefit from more praise, self or otherwise. I don’t have strong signals as to the aptitude of Isusr other than having read some fraction of their posts.
I worry your response comes as an automatic social defense mechanism as opposed to reflecting “real” beliefs and would like to understand what many upvoters find the issue to be.
What??? This is so weird and concerning.
