Think for a moment, and quit with the ad hominems, my rationalist friend.
Why would I try and signal anything on here? Being ‘Alpha on the Internet’ will not get me laid in real life; I have no investment on whether anyone here thinks I’m sexy or not. The example I gave was to pre-empt the “You’re a lonely, bitter loser in your mother’s basement”—pointing out that I am far from that was my only reason for bringing it up.
Quite frankly, I appreciate this community, and though I haven’t been on here in some time, my karma score should point out that I’m not a troll, or a johnny-come-lately. If anything, I’d rather be on good-standing here, because that means more readers of my blog, and more viewers of my video.
That said, i’m not going to censor myself and parrot the party-line for the sake of popularity. Particularly not on a thread about subversive ideas (apparently I found the one that was too subversive).
Do you think that I’m advocating domestic violence? Improve on your reading comprehension; I’m not. Try and read between the lines—and stop getting emotional on a rationality forum.
Signaling is not done consciously. As a human, you are not capable of not signaling. It seems to be the primary cause of the existence of speech. So,
