Also, you're trolling wrong; but maybe that's just meta-trolling, i.e., you're trying to troll me by being apparently incompetent at trolling. I doubt it.

Are you trying to troll me by pretending that I was trolling you? This will get convoluted very quickly.

You are actually Will Newsome himself, and I claim my £5.

I confess, it was me all along.

...I wonder if this "accuse Will Newsome of sockpuppeting" thing is some sort of LessWrong tradition now. You should know that the last time someone bet I was a sockpuppet, specifically AspiringKnitter, they nominally lost a hundred bucks.

I'm actually Will Newsome's disembodied prefrontal cortex speaking from beyond the meta.

beyond the meta

Liar, there is no such place. The other half of your claim is sorta plausible though.

Under the most straightforward interpretation I think the convolution is only growing linearly? ...Maybe someone should write a paper on the time complexity of meta-trolling in various fora as a gauge of the intellectual worthwhileness of said fora.

See my article "'I Never Met A Troll I Didn't': A Meta-Analysis of Meta-Troll Meta-Data in the Metaverse".

Since when do we mention the straightforward interpretation?
