As I said, here I am. Tell me how Solomonoff induction is going to change how I do my business. I am listening.

You are already a lesswronger - would you say that lesswrong has changed the way you think at all? Why do you keep coming back?

I post here, but I don't identify as a rationalist. Two most valuable ideas (to me) that circulate here are tabooing and steelmanning (but they were not invented here).

I think I try to cultivate what you would call the "rationalist mindset" in order to do math. But I view it as a tool for certain problems only, not a part of my identity.

Do you want me to leave?

That wasn't my point. My point was, you are the best one to answer your own question.
