i mean you people keep going on and on despite me having proved everything ive claimed and just want to minimise existential risk, while theres just a whole lot of whining about grammar and whatnot from you guys. its not my main language, ive not spent any time trying to improve it, and i may very well have some mental issues in regards to quite a few things

"Not quite. Look at your original comment:" where the topic was esports betting. no, i did not attempt to show that im competent in whatever it is you think i was trying attempt to show to be competent in by specifically showing my results in betting.

"LOL. General competency does have much to do with "this whole thing". You are not helping your cause at the moment." what does general competency have to do with this? at the core, the value a person provides is the effect he has on existential risk reduction, and the by far bes... (read more)

yo responded to my line "hopyfully show that im competent at esport betting" saying i failed at that. then i asked how i would fail to show that im competent at it by not even mentioning the subject because the topic was other things in the post at hand. now you try to cover up what you just did and claim you are talking about general competency. which doesnt even have anything to do with what im trying to do with this whole thing which is minimising existential risk by getting more money into the cause that i currently think is the best suited....

Not quite. Look at your original comment: See? There is a full stop at the end. Nothing about esports. LOL. General competency does have much to do with "this whole thing". You are not helping your cause at the moment.

No, you're failing at general competency. For example, you screwed up your introduction to LessWrong. Competency at esports betting is a hard thing to demonstrate. It's like proving you're a good trader in financial markets: a string of successes is not a proof.

"act publicly, especially when it includes asking members to participate in financial transactions." why should i ask publicly when asking personal questions about personal decisions?

"It is your insisting to work behind the courtains that seems fishy to me. You try to make the recipients of your messages feel special, yet you and your associate copy/paste the same messages to multiple people." im insisting to work behind the curtains? when did i insist, and why should i ask publicly? so i could copy my message and try to find some suita...

theres a 10% chance hes right after hes to some extent verified my identity? i didnt wish to post my message very publicly cause it embarrassing and awkwardly like i was bragging when i wished to be honest, and hopefully show that im competent. how could my message of offering free education even be scammy? as i said i can prove it to vaniver and he can relay the information. im just looking for a smart person with the right priorities to educate on this so i can justify taking a break, and limit workload in general. i havent taken a single day off since i...

If you think you have worthwhile knowledge about how to bet that you could teach other people, write an article detailing your betting philosophy.

You're kinda failing at that at the moment :-/

I apologize if I wronged you, but if you are honest, please act publicly, especially when it includes asking members to participate in financial transactions. Money is no taboo here. MIRI asks for money publicly by posting an article (December 2015, August 2015, ...). Members post articles with financial advice (Twenty basic rules for intelligent money management, Financial Effectiveness Repository, A Guide to Rational Investing, and many debates in the regular Open Threads). According to our recent survey, 71 members work in "Finance/Economics" and 38 work in "Law"; and although some of them specialize in things irrelevant to your proposal, most likely a few could provide a valuable feedback, maybe even a warning of what could possibly go wrong. It is your insisting to work behind the courtains that seems fishy to me. You try to make the recipients of your messages feel special, yet you and your associate copy/paste the same messages to multiple people. If your goal is to provide free education, you could have posted the first lesson publicly. If you don't want to be public with your name or with the name of your company, just create a pseudonymous account called e.g. "JumpingSquirrel2016" and refer to your company as e.g. "CompanyX". Even if your goal is to find two or three people to cooperate with privately in the future, you can still advertise your skills by posting one free lesson publicly. People who are experts in some area don't have to keep all their knowledge secret; there is usually at least 90% of the information known to enough people, sometimes even taught at universities. For now, it seems like your priority is to send money through someone else, because reasons ("accelerating the value created"). Everything else seems like a cover story to make people cooperate. I suspect that the promised free education is also supposed to only happen after the person participated in the transaction. If you are fake, your likely next step would be to send some
