I’m glad that a lot of the feedback is about things I can change easily (pictures with friends, hair and beard style etc) This does, however, imply that I’m undervalued in online dating. Maybe they should add an AI visualization tool, where women can see a version of the profile with better grooming and perhaps a short story about an interesting time I had with friends.

Optimistic people have functional MRI commonality of neural processing for imagining the future (whereas pessimists have a diverse pattern)

i think this is the first time the founding genius of rationalism has ever responded to my work, and sorry, but i will never stop. your entire world is made of mixed fiction and nonfiction with no warning labels, everything you’ve ever known is mixed fiction and nonfiction with no warning labels, and your attempt to build a philosophical movement around clearly separating the two has resulted in, that’s right, mixed fiction and nonfiction, swirling together into a kind of ungodly colloid i could never even hope to reproduce. putting “epistemic status:” at the top of your posts does absolutely nothing to change that!

Yudkowsky cannot stop me. I will be disseminating flyers on the suppressed doctrines of Laurentius Clung at my local seminary school. The Isothimian heresiarchs shall rise again, perhaps this time in unison, perhaps this time to your lament.
