Wearing a suit in an inappropriate context is like wearing a fedora. It says "I am socially clueless enough to do random inappropriate things"
This is far too broadly stated, the actual message people will take away from an unexpected suit is verrrrry context-dependent, depending on (among other things) who the suit-wearer is, who the people observing are, how the suit-wearer carries himself, the particular situation the suit is worn in, etc. etc. etc. Judging from the post it sounds like those things create an overall favorable impression for lsusr?(it's hard to tell from just a post of course, but still)
But I still have a problem with the post's tone because if you really internalized that "you" are the player, then your reaction to the informational content should be like "I'm a beyond-'human' uncontrollable force, BOOYEAH!!", not "I'm a beyond-human uncontrollable force, ewww tentacles😣"
Goodness maximizing as undefined without an arbitrary choice of values
By "(non-socially-constructed) Goodness" I mean the goodness of a state of affairs as it actually seems to that particular person really-deep-down. Which can have both selfish -- perhaps "arbitrary" from a certain perspective -- and non-selfish components.
I changed my mind about this, I actually think "lovecraftian horror" might be somewhat better than "monkey" as a mental image, but maybe "(non-socially-constructed)-Goodness-Maximizing AGI" or "void from which things spontaneously arise" or "the voice of God" could be even better?
He doesn't only talk about properties but also what people actually are according to our best physical theories, which is continuous wavefunctions -- of which there are only beth-1.
Sadly my perception is that there are some lesswrongers who reflexively downvote anything they perceive as "weird", sometimes without thinking the content through very carefully -- especially if it contradicts site orthodoxy in an unapologetic manner.

Polymarket pays for the gas fees themselves, users don't have to pay any.
