Good link, typo in title, have a good day, thank you for posting on Lesswrong.

Does it flow, or simulate a flow?
I think I should be less secretive and try to let other people know about problems before coming up with a solution on my own more often. All of my attempts to come up with a specific scenario to mention in this post already violates the tendency which I am trying to eliminate. It is a vicious cycle. I suspect this post may have been pointless...

Excellent post, I will keep these ideas in mind in future arguments.
I make a habit of muttering incoherently and then scornfully rejecting my own opinions to maximize reasonable creativity. Of course, this is a bad course of action in public, but very helpful when I need to make a game engine in two days.
I agree that expressing outrage is normally a bad idea, it generally does not convince the other person and negatively effects my ability to be rational.
Did they ever encourage it?
Thank you for the summary, I have considered looking for information on SIAI’s costs before, so presenting it in a readable way is helpful.
I understand both of their arguments, but the emotions involved are incomprehensible...
I suppose I would have said nearly the same thing in Moly’s position, and would not have predicted that I was being offensive. It would be helpful to be able to empathize with peoples emotions, but I am apparently horrible at it.
I don’t understand, you cannot talk about whether a rock is moral?
Given that a rock appears to have no way to recieve input from the universe, create a plan to satisfy its goals, and act, I would consider a rock morally neutral—In the same way that I consider someone to be morally neutral when they fail to prevent a car from being stolen while they are in a coma in another country.
I would be interested in seeing a more fleshed out version if at all possible.
I lack the priors to understand this. But if you explained the joke, it would make it less funny for people who would actually understand it already… Maximizing the comedic potential of a sentence is too difficult.
I approve of Delete = Disable account, for the reasons you outlined.
When I saw the names of the articles and that you had posted twice in a row, I thought you were delibrately invoking your advice to try quantity over quality. It is rather amusing that you ended up doing this accidentally.
That was harsh...
I was in exactly the same situation when I was 15 before I was diagnosed with asthma, probably worse since there were a few days where I could not even walk up stairs because my lungs would seize up instantly. My doctor told me to try exercising more in spite of me having a low BMI, being unusually active, and having asthma, since the drugs which are available for people with asthma mainly treat the symptoms. If you want to avoid needing them in the first place, increasing your stamina is the only fix.
Of course, before you can exercise at all, you need to either find effective medications, or exercises which you can manage without killing yourself, but I don’t understand your reaction to Molybdenumblue.
Tangentially, your symptoms do seem to match asthma well to me. I would recommend asking for tests next time you see a doctor.
I guess it is rather bizarre. But most of the unusual conventions on IRC and other chat services are in order to make it more like a face to face conversation. They generally either allow you to narrate yourself from a third person perspective, or speed up common interactions that take much longer to type than they do in real life.
Although “nodnod” seems unusually nonsensical, since it takes longer to type than “yes”. I cannot say I have seen that used before.
Yep, which is one reason why I would never choose to be a counselor. I am rather attached to my own existence, so trying to understand people who are not isn’t intuitive.
Nothing very significant, but all of the additional rules I found seemed hard to justify. Just forcing myself to become comfortable asking for help from strangers seems harmless and should be beneficial however. I have already been doing something similar for a few weeks actually.
You can know you are unjustly negative without being able to change your disposition. Why do you think people choose to take counselling and antidepressants?
I know I am cynical
I have wished for a nearby LW group for a while and will be attending U of Waterloo in January. I will nearly certainly be there.
