While I think this comment is rightly downvoted, it does have some valuable worth;
I worry at times because I don’t know exactly to what extent I am on Lesswrong to just enjoy being an intellectual hipster.
However, I also worry routinely because I feel this site seems to have some really obvious and globally important truths to tell that, as far as I can tell, are being ignored by the larger community (the world) for some reason. Although due to the sheer rational basis upon which this site is founded, it does feel like the world is the one missing out, and it isn’t that I’ve missed some some important information that presumably others have acess to and have then rejected this site.
Thus I haven’t quite adopted this community yet, although I will continue my daily visits and continue to strive to be more rational for the moment as I haven’t actually got any evidence against Lesswrong beyond my incredulity that this place ISN’T more mainstream despite how it obviously should be in my eyes.
Edit: I’m 17 btw, and I this comment kinda came out of nowhere but I think I might re-write it and then post it as a real discussion post if I really want these concerns of mine to be seen and discussed or adressed.
Much love for not using the word “just” in that sentence. +1 for that.
being ignored by the larger community (the world) for some reason.
If true, the reason they are being ignored is a meta-reason that is extremely important, and if that is not part of the collection of truths, then conclude the collection probably isn’t so valuable.
Ehh I did use the word “just” a bit later in that sentence, you might want to take away that upvote.
“If true, the reason they are being ignored is a meta-reason that is extremely important, and if that is not part of the collection of truths, then conclude the collection probably isn’t so valuable.”
I honestly don’t understand what that means. Can you clarify?
As a teen myself I just enjoy being an intellectual hipster. Ok and maybe trolling as my persona.
