I'm usually confused by these kinds of comments. Reflections on rationality a year out had even less content and was less well-written and less detailed, but was massively upvoted. Kevin hit the nail on the head with his comment on my Existential Risk post:
Also, this is a personal contribution to the long-running "What good is rationality?" discussion on LessWrong.
You're harder to relate to now that you've made progress on problems the rest of us are still struggling with. Don't take it personally.
Yeah. I've gotten that comment before. No offense taken. I haven't devoted enough cycles to this problem yet. If suggestions come to mind, feel free to share them.
I've worked out some ways to avoid certain variants of this problem, but most of them really boil down to "trick people with framing," which isn't really desirable-- both because it's at least a little deceptive and because it generally minimizes legitimate progress and serves mostly to make the other party feel better about their existing state.
