and not well nor as rationally as you think

Yeah, I've been beginning to notice this. Dunning–Kruger FTW! (stupid cognitive biases)

  • I must not argue with people about things that I know next to nothing about; and
  • If I can make an argument without properly researching the topic, it's neither novel nor useful.

Thanks for being blunt and pointing this out to me.

It suddenly occurs to me that it's how, not what, that's the problem.

You seek answers. Yet you attack their premise. Maybe you could ask the person.

"Why do you believe this thing [that I'm unfamiliar with and don't yet agree or disagree with but I'm not going to mention that because it's hostile and alienating] ?"

You attack with skepticism rather than inquisitiveness, even if asking a question it may seem hostile.

I'm the last one who should talk about brevity, but it helps too. I tend to talk to much to not leave room for confusion. You tend to work things out on the page and it's often difficult to follow. I find explaining difficult things often helps me understand it better too. But when it comes to confrontational skepticism - best keep it to a minimum.

Thanks for being blunt and pointing this out to me.

I hope you'll call me on my shit too. Keep it real. You could be, but I have no reason to think you're a schill. I think you're just a real person. If you happen to be a bot you're the best one I've come across (that I know of).

You're one of the nicest people here. Thank you!

Good bots are too hard to make (the AI scare is waaay overhyped); most shills are minimum-wage people following scripts.

Don't go overboard on the niceness already. That kinda shit is addictive and will go straight to my head. DMT trip is one thing, but and ego trip is altogether another thing.

I agree and disagree with the A.I. threat. I don't think we can even really comprehend what it will be like - both with our limited interactions, and in the vast scope of it's inner workings and planetary scale. And then of course - who runs it. Open source will always be several steps behind because "they" will have the open source stuff instantly - as well as their own proprietary shit. That's not even counting the deeply entrenched evil corporatocracy that is running things and will run all the A.I. unless there's a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE and sudden open/transparent/fair paradigm shift. I don't pray but if I did that'd be the only thing I'd pray for. All I see is perpetual war until the "great A.I. awakening of 2045-2050".

And most shills have no nuance or any relatablility. It's an unimaginative pejorative without nuance IMHO.
