Congratulations on your artfully executed Dark Arts. I hope any Less Wronger can see through the Dark Arts.
Endorsements of Intentional Insights content created by me is endorsements of me personally? That is a very strange thing to say for an aspiring rationalist. There’s a difference between the person and her/his actions.
Thanks for the accusation of me being a cult leader. I appreciate the sentiment, but it places me on too high a pedestal, I think.
Congratulations on your artfully executed Dark Arts.
Thank you. Congratulations on your artful use of graciousness as a literary weapon.
I hope any Less Wronger can see through the Dark Arts.
Your hope is misplaced. Nobody can reliably see through the Dark Arts. I lack sufficient hubris to claim that even for myself, an individual who I hold in very high regard.

Endorsements of you, personally. As in “Dr. Tsipursky has done a terrific job...” and “Dr. Tsipursky has done a great job...” and “Tsipursky, a college professor and scholar of scientific and research-based approaches to answering big questions has put together a step by step guide to help you reflect on what you really and truly care about” and “Gleb Tsipursky brings useful tools, based on the fruits of recent scientific and academic research, to those seeking to use reason in their personal search for meaning and purpose” and “[Dr. Tsipursky’s book] Find Your Purpose Using Science clearly is one of the centerpieces of humanist education” and “Professor Tsipursky shows us that...” and “Dr. Tsipursky, without rancor, demonstrates successfully to my mind that...” and “Dr. Tsipurky’s voice is unique, speaking to the hope, idealism, angst and empowerment of the current global population” and I’m tired of copying comments.
I inserted your name into the “centerpieces of humanist education” one, but otherwise, every single one of those endorsements, supposedly of your organization, are about you, personally.
Thanks for the accusation of me being a cult leader. I appreciate the sentiment, but it places me on too high a pedestal, I think.
You’re not a particularly good one, if it makes you feel any better. You just crib the notes of people who are good at it, and openly admit to it.
I hear that you’re triggered by those endorsements. However, all those endorsements are standard style endorsements for a book. They point not to me, but to my actions, and evaluations of my actions in writing the book to which those comments refer.
If you actually focus on interpreting what they say, they do not say “Dr. Tsipursky is awesome.” They say things like “Dr. Tsipursky has done a terrific job...” and “Dr. Tsipursky has done a great job” etc. They are about my actions. These actions draw support from people, who wish then to show support through endorsing the book.
The book was published by Intentional Insights. I am also donating more than half the profit from author’s royalties to Intentional Insights. So this is an Intentional Insights book as much as my own. Hope that clarifies things.
Anyway, I see that you intend to keep trolling me. Please consider how your actions and words come off to others. Thanks!
If you believe that I am trolling you, the correct response is not to reply, not keep “feeding the trolls”.
An observation: Every conversation between us that has ended, has ended because I chose not to reply. The same is true of every other conversation I see you involved in. You’re incapable of not replying.

...Well, that’s one way to get someone to stop replying.
