by “that’s fine”, you mean “I learned helplessness”, right? (just checking, because I’m not sure what it means to say that something terrible is fine)

I disagree, but haven’t had time to write why yet:)
Maybe it would be a useful norm for people to have such a list of ideas; it would allow to move faster

2 of them:
there’s a lot of advantages to video-recording your life (I want to write much more about this, and only took time for a very brief overview so far https://matiroy.com/writings/Should-I-record-my-life.html)
if MWI is true and today’s cryonics is good enough, we can use quantum lottery to cryopreserve literally everyone for the cost of setting up a quantum lottery + some overhead (probably much less than 100k USD)
[Question] What’s an important (new) idea you haven’t had time to argue for yet?
An FAQ about yourself that is? I like this idea. When someone asks me a question that seems like it could be of interests to others, I ask them to post on my subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mati_Roy/ , but I think it’s weird because it looks impersonal to some among other things.
[Question] Who are some people you met that were the most extreme on some axis?
[Question] What are some things you would do (more) if you were less averse to being/looking weird?
Thanks for your answer
Thanks for sharing! If you want to, I would be curious to know how the last 2 points made you feel bad for not adopting earlier (if there’s anything more specific than just the general point)
oops, I just saw that; thank you!
oh, I had missed that :o thanks for letting me know!
by the way, I often see you link information together, and make sure to follow-up on various things; I really appreciate that!
thanks, I appreciate! I don’t see Intercom (?). I would like my username to be Mati_Roy
A place to suggestion features, hence this question ’^_^
A way to update my username given I changed my name to Mati a while ago :)
[Question] What additional features would you like on LessWrong?
[Question] If giving unsolicited feedback was a social norm, what feedback would you often give?
I think the main one for me is learning to be productive
I’m not sure what cause you to like this framing and what it does to you psychologically, but personally it seems important to me to differentiate what’s aligned with my preferences and what’s fixable as 2 different concepts. I think having a single word for both “things that can be changed, but are okay as they are” and “things that can’t be changed, but are not okay as they are” would render my cognition pretty confused, but maybe that’s a cognitive hack to feel better or something.
