I see a few misconceptions coming up time and again in this discussion, and I do not see how to bridge the inferential distance towards them.

Let Hugh explain them. That seems to be the easiest way. ;)

I have to say, however, that as far as misconceptions and general nonsense this has probably been the most sane conversation that I've ever seen on lesswrong. More importantly what little insanity there has been has been cognitive more than political. Altogether promising.

The most sane conversation you've seen here about PUA, or the most sane conversation you're seen here about anything?

About PUA. I haven't really thought about the sanity of anything in general.

Catching up on overnight reading makes me tempted to retract this statement. :)
