I don’t mean to suggest that anything that subtracts a karma point isn’t worth doing, just that it’s evidence that you’re not accomplishing what you’d like.
You’ve made some claims (in other comments too) which would be very interesting if true, but weren’t backed up enough for me to make the inferential jump.
I’d like to see a full top level post on this idea, as it seems quite interesting if true, but it also seems to need more space to give the details and full supporting arguments.
You’re right in that this, among other topics, I owe a top level post.
Although one worry I have with trying to lay out inferential steps is that some of these ideas (this one included) seem to encounter a sort of Xeno’s paradox for full comprehension. It stops being enough to be willing to take the next step, it becomes necessary to take the inferential limit to get to the other side.
Which means that until I find a way to map people around that phenomena I’m hesitant in giving a large scale treatment. Just because it was the route I took, doesn’t mean it’s a good way to explain things generally, ala Typical Mind Fallacy born out by evidence.
But in any case I will return to it when I have the time.
Laying out the route you took might be a lot easier than looking for another route. Also, the feedback from comments might be a better way to look for another route than modeling other minds on your own.
I suspect that people are voting you down because you sound like you’re attempting to show off, rather than attempting to communicate. Several of your posts seem to be simple assertions that you possess knowledge or a theory. I did vote down the comment at the top of this thread, but I don’t remember if that’s why. I was surprised that I didn’t vote down other of your comments where I remember having that reaction, so this theory-from-introspection isn’t even a good theory of me. But it might work better for people who vote more. (the simple theory of when I vote you up is 21 May and 6 June, which disturbs me.)
