Not always. For any random Lesswrongian with a contrarian position you're nearly sure to find a Lesswrongian with a meta-contrarian one.
Also, notice that your signaling now is so bad from a baseline human standpoint that people's sociopath/Wrong Wiring alarms are going off, or would go off if there's more of such signaling. I think that my alarm's just kinda sensitive* because I had it triggered by and calibrated on myself many times.
*(Alas, this could also be evidence that along the line I subconsciously tweaked this bit of my software to get more excuses for playing inquisitor with strangers)
Perhaps I'll pick another handle for use outside of this thread, then.
FWIW, I disagree with you but you don't set off my "sociopath alarm". I think you and Multiheaded may not be able to have a normal conversation with each other, but each of you seems to get along fine with the rest of LW.
If it helps, I can pretty much envision what's needed for such a conversation, and understand full well that the reasons it's not actually happening are all in myself and not in Bakkot. But I don't have the motivation to modify myself that specific way. On the other hand, it might come along naturally if I just improve in all areas of communication.
Heck, I might be speaking in Runglish. Bed tiem.
I'm curious: did you?
Yes, but on consideration I think I'm just going to switch back to this one.
If it helps, my opinion of you has been raised by this thread, rather than lowered. I think very few LWians actually think less of you for this discussion, but that could just be me projecting typical mind fallacy.
That's lumping a whole lot of things together. I'd gladly hire Bakkot if I was running pretty much any kind of IT business. I'd enjoy some kinds of debate with him. I'd be interested in playing an online game with him. I probably wouldn't share a beer. I definitely would participate in a smear campaign if he was running for public office.
