FWIW, I disagree with you but you don’t set off my “sociopath alarm”. I think you and Multiheaded may not be able to have a normal conversation with each other, but each of you seems to get along fine with the rest of LW.

If it helps, I can pretty much envision what’s needed for such a conversation, and understand full well that the reasons it’s not actually happening are all in myself and not in Bakkot. But I don’t have the motivation to modify myself that specific way. On the other hand, it might come along naturally if I just improve in all areas of communication.
If it helps, my opinion of you has been raised by this thread, rather than lowered. I think very few LWians actually think less of you for this discussion, but that could just be me projecting typical mind fallacy.

That’s lumping a whole lot of things together. I’d gladly hire Bakkot if I was running pretty much any kind of IT business. I’d enjoy some kinds of debate with him. I’d be interested in playing an online game with him. I probably wouldn’t share a beer. I definitely would participate in a smear campaign if he was running for public office.

Heck, I might be speaking in Runglish. Bed tiem.
I’m curious: did you?
