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.
