I believe that I could not pass your ITT. I believe I am projecting some views onto you, in order engage with them in my head (and publicly so you can engage if you want). I guess I have a Duncan-model that I am responding to here, but I am not treating that Duncan-model as particularly truth tracking. It is close enough that it makes sense (to me) to call it a Duncan-model, but its primary purpose in me is not for predicting Duncan, but rather for being there to engage with on various topics.
I suspect that being a better model would help it serve this purpose, and would like to make it better, but I am not requesting that.
I notice that I used different words in my header “Scott’s model of Duncan’s beliefs,” I think that this reveals something, but it certainly isn’t clear, “belief” is for true things, “models” are toys for generating things.
I think that in my culture, having a not-that-truth-tracking Duncan-model that I want to engage my ideas with is a sign of respect. I think I don’t do that with that many people (more than 10, but less than 50, I think). I also do it with a bunch of concepts, like “Simic,” or “Logical Induction.” The best models according to me are not the ones that are the most accurate, as much as the ones that are most generally applicable. Rounding off the model makes it fit in more places.
However, I can imagine that maybe in your culture it is something like objectification, which causes you to not be taken seriously. Is this true?
If you are curious about what kind of things my Duncan-model says, I might be able to help you built a (Scott’s-Duncan-Model)-Model. In one short phase, I think I often round you off as an avatar of “respect,” but even my bad model has more nuance than just the word “respect”.
I imagine that you are imagining my comment as a minor libel about you, by contributing to a shared narrative in which you are something that you are not. I am sad to the extent that it has that effect. I am not sure what to do about that. (I could send things like this in private messages, that might help).
However, I want to point out that I am often not asking people to update from my claims. That is often an unfortunate side effect. I want to play with my Duncan-model. I want you to see what I build with it, and point out where it is not correctly tracking what Duncan would actually say. (If that is something you want) I also want to do this in a social context. I want my model to be correct, so that I can learn more from it, but I want to relinquish any responsibility for it being correct. (I am up for being convinced that I should take on that responsibility, either as a general principal, or as a cooperative action towards you.)
Feel free to engage or not.
PS: The above is very much responding to my Duncan-model, rather than what you are actually saying. I reread your above comment, and my comment, and it seems like I am not responding to you at all. I still wanted to share the above text with you.
