I don't get it.
(Is this an attempt at parodying and/or mocking HPMOR?)
It's the first chapter of an attempt to explicate the skills and virtues of postrationality. It also serves as parody but I'm not poking fun just for the sake of poking. I'm trying to halfway-communicate real ideas via adianoeta. Also I'm trying to learn how to write fiction, 'cuz I suck, as is apparent.
Maybe you could communicate better by being less tricksy , not more.
Sigh. As you wish.
In this method, are worthy people suppose to work to get some sense in what you say? Or they are supposed to get it instantly? Because in the first case, I'm not clear what are the incentives.
Solving riddles isn't its own incentive?
When you know for a fact that they are riddles, yes, for some. But to me until now Will failed to clearly show that.
Those who mistake noise for riddles are quite accurately termed schizophrenic.
