#5: Many of these terms I’ve known and used in conversation long before Overcoming Bias and Less Wrong.
For this one, I tried to answer based on whether I had learned the terms from LW or not. But wasn’t 100% sure whether that’s what the survey wanted. Would def have appreciated that being stated more clearly.
Alas. I want to note that I did try to be clear, the question said “because of LessWrong (and other rationalist blogs)”. Like, if you heard of ‘slack’ elsewhere, but then started to use it significantly more because of LW, then I wanted that to count.

But yeah, agree the answers will be noisy.
