Reflection from this particular experimental position: > Why was it possible for me to assume an offensive tone? What features contribute to an offensive tone, and how can I avoid that? I think HPMoR gave me the wrong idea about bringing awareness to something, and probably a lot more social behavior. - Conceptually speaking, my map correctly indicated to me that something more was left implicit for this example to be non-hyperbolic. - I had more than enough information to scratch off the possibility of it being hyperbolic, but I didn’t even try looking. 1. You have been on LessWrong for 4 years, have quite a bit of karma, have made over 20 posts on LessWrong, with many comments.

You made a post called, “Being Productive With Chronic Health Conditions”, where the mystery could have been dispelled. Though I got to this post from a search, the mentioned post is listed right next to this one in your profile. > I should strive to always ask the right questions to see people in a broader, more accurate light. People are not stupid, and hardly ever without any reason. So why was it not the first-nature reaction to seek existing information to satisfy my curiosity?
(P.S. I want to try again on another one of your posts. Based on my skim, I think you have quite a bit of value to offer.)
Makes sense! Becoming more rational is a continual journey, and there’s no need to feel ashamed that you’re still learning. I expect you’ll find the process faster and smoother if you approach it as though you’re collaborating with other posters, instead of trying to score points :)
