My overall updating from this thread has been:

Learning a lot more about the diversity of opinions and concerns among Less Wrongers.

• 1) Learning that there are a lot more risk-averse people on LW who are opposed to experimenting with new things, learning from experience, improving going forward, and optimizing the world, than I had previously thought.

• 2) Learned a lot about Less Wrongers' "ew" experiences and flinching away from modern marketing], despite some [getting it

• 3) Learned that many Less Wrongers are strongly oriented toward perfectionism and bulletproof arguments at the expense of clarity and bridging inference gaps.
• 4) Surprised to see positive updates on my character (1, 2)as the result of this discussion, and will pay more attention to issues of character in the future - I think I paid too much attention to content previously and insufficient attention to character.

Updated toward some different strategies with Intentional Insights

• 1) Orienting Intentional Insights content more toward providing breadcrumbs of links toward more higher-quality materials than the people on Lifehack and The Huffington Post are currently reading
• 2) Teaching our audience about the dangers of overconfidence sooner.
• 3) Taking more concrete steps to minimize the risk of Endless September and tainting the term "rationality" by decreasing mentions of Less Wrong and rationality in our content.
• 4) Being more clear and specific in communicating scientific thinking to our audiences.
• 5) Learned more about The Virtue of Silence and need to keep this virtue in mind.
• 6) Learned to consider more the trade-offs of using and simplifying certain terms and concepts
• 7) Updating more toward taking well-considered action despite opposition, and avoiding falling into status-quo bias and information bias.
• 8) Stopping unproductive conversations sooner
• 9) Overall, I need to focus more on striving to learn things even from highly negative feedback, and avoid the instinct to flinch away or swing back. This is my aspiration, and I did not always succeed in the course of this discussion. However, I believe this experience will help me grow stronger in this domain.

Thanks all for your participation. As you see, you all taught me something. I appreciate you revealing your mental maps to the extent you chose to do so, and now my territory is clearer. My gratitude to you.

EDIT: Edited for formatting, the bullet points did not come out right away.
