I'm very grateful that I've had a number of pain-free days this past week. I was able to summon up the energy to work on some dormant projects and overall feel much better about life than I did a week ago.
I'm grateful to be born in a time where medicine has the ability to regrow freaking arteries! Seriously, how cool is that?!
it's kind of curious that Prof. Tsipursky does his, let's say "social engineering", under his real name.
Interesting that your perspective is that I'm manipulating LWs, as opposed to genuinely trying to get InIn participants engaged in LW.
Let's imagine two worlds: one where I was, and one where I wasn't. You have evidence that I have accomplished quite a bit in my activities, which should tell you something about my abilities.
If I was trying to manipulate LWs, I would not do it so obviously. There's plenty of subtle maneuvers that could be done. But that's not where my interest lies.
If I was trying to get InIn participants genuinely engaged in LW and getting them trained up in rationality, I would do exactly what I'm doing.
Consider where the evidence points carefully. Don't go from your desired conclusion.
