I think main thing I want to avoid with the back-and-forth is feeling a sense of urgency to respond (esp. if I’m feeling frustrated about being misunderstood). Gonna try an experiment of “respond to comments here once per day”).
Curious how that experiment ended and think this type of rule is healthy in general (e.g. rate limiting how often one checks and responds) and I’m doing my best to follow a similar one.
It certainly seemed better than rapid-fire commenting.
I don’t know whether it was better than not commenting at all – I spent this thread mostly feeling exasperated that after 20 hours of debate and doublecrux it seemed like the conversation hadn’t really progressed. (Or at least, I was still having to re-explain things that I felt I had covered over and over again)
I do think Zack’s final comment is getting at something fairly important, but which still felt like a significant topic shift to me, and which seemed beyond scope for the current discussion.
Appreciate it. That does help.

Will probably respond tomorrow.
