I don't really see the point. On the first page of Discussion there currently "On Straw Vulcan Rationality" with is about the relation of rationality to emotions which has a lot to do with emotional intelligence.
There also "Applying reinforcement learning theory to reduce felt temporal distance", "Beware Trivial Fears", "How can I spend money to improve my life?" and "How to become a PC?".
I think "On Straw Vulcan Rationality" illustrates the issue well. Here on Lesswrong there are people who actually think that Vulcans do things quite alright. In an environment where it's not clear that one shouldn't be a Vulcan it's difficult to communicate about some aspects of emotional intelligence.
Recently asked for ways to find a career for himself but it it all in the third person instead of the first. My post suggesting that he should change to first person was voted down because it was to far out of LW culture. If I'm around people who do a lot of coaching changing someone who speaks in third person about his own life to first person to increase his agentship is straightforward advice. It's a basic.
I had experience where encouraging a person to make that change produced bodylanguage changes that are visible to me because the person is more associated with themselves. On the other hand I'm hardpressed if you ask me for peer reviewed research to back up my claim that it's highly useful to use the first person when speaking about what one wants to do with his life.
Not being able to rely on basics makes it hard to talk when on Lesswrong we usually do talk about advanced stuff.
I see your comments are downvoted quite often. They sometimes contain some element of emotion or empathy. If it was possible to view down- and upvotes seperately you'd see that my post garnered quite some downvotes, meaning that there actually are quite a few people who either think that the topic is well covered by LW or it does not have a place on LW. I obviously disagree with both positions.
You say you don't see the point of doing this here on LW, can you then point me to a site where they 'start at the basics'? I refuse to give in to the meme "being a Vulcan is perfectly fine".
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
