You have been strongly associated with a certain movement, and people might not want to engage you in conversation even on different topics,
You forgot to say that you think that. But for username 2′s point, you had to reiterate that you think.
because they are afraid your true intention is to lead the conversation back to ideas that they didn’t want to talk with you about in the first place.
That’s unfortunate if it is the case if ideas which are outside their echo chamber create such fear, then what I say might be of use in the first place, if we all come together and figure things out :)
I think username2 was making a non-serious cheeky comment which went over your head and you responded with a wall of text touching on several ideas. People sometimes just want small exchanges and they have no confidence in you to keep exchanges short.
It was but it speaks of his underlying ideas and character to even be in the position to do that. I don’t mind it, I enjoy typing walls of texts. What would you want me to respond, if at all?
Agreeing with the sentiment that people probably aren’t engaging with this question because it’s too tiresome to summarize all the information that is available, and what is available is probably incomplete as well. By asking such a broad question rather than a narrower, specific, or applied question, you won’t get many responses.
Yeah, I think so too, but I do think there is a technological barrier in how this forum was setup for the type of problem-solving I am advising for. If we truly want to be Less Wrong, it’s fine with how it is now, but there can definitely be improvements in an effort for the entire species rather than a small subset of it, 2k people.

What do you mean by this? Assuming its a joke, why does it speaks to his character and underlying ideas; why would it, it wasn’t meant for you to take seriously.

Because a few words tell a large story when they also decided it was worth their time to write it. I wrote in my post and explained for example what type of viewpoints it implies and that it’s stupid (in the sense inefficient and not aligned with reality).
Probably not at all.
I will update my probabilities then as I gain more feedback.
