I do meditate at home! "Zafu" means "cushion". Yeah, I have trouble remembering to walk 10 feet to sit down in a comfortable position on a comfortable cusion instead of being stressed about stuff all day. Brains...
Not sure what the question mark is for. Heathens are bad, it's probably bad to hang out with them, unless you're a wannabe saint and are trying to convert them, which I am, but only half-heartedly. Sin is all about contamination, you know? Hence baptism and stuff. Brains...
So why are you hanging out with them?
Because I'm sinful? And not all of them are heathens, I'm just prone to exaggeration. I think this new AspiringKnitter person is cool, for example; likelihood-ratio-she apparently can supernaturally tell good from bad, which might make my FAI project like a billion times easier, God willing. NancyLebovitz is cool. cousin it is cool. cousin it I can interact with on Facebook but not all of the cool LW people. People talk about me here, I feel compelled to say something for some reason, maybe 'cuz I feel guilty that they're talking about me and might not realize that I realize that.
Please don't consider this patronizing but... the writing style of this comment is really cute.
I think you broke whatever part of my brain evaluates people's signalling. It just gave up and decided your writing is really cute. I really have no idea what impression to form of you; the experience was so unusual that I felt I had to comment.
Thanks to your priming now I can't see "AspiringKnitter" without mentally replacing it with "AspiringKittens" and a mental image of a Less Wrong meetup of kittens who sincerely want to have better epistemic practices. Way to make the world a better place.
That's what the SF Less Wrong meetups are missing: Kittens.
Just make sure you don't have anyone with bad allergies...
Independently of you, I PM'd her the exact same thing. Well, guess I'm in good company.
Are you AspiringKnitter, or the author of AspiringKnitter?
Not as far as I know, but you seemed pretty confident in that hypothesis so maybe you know something I don't.
