It’s just… people who cannot stop signalling, even when you tell them: “look, I see that you are signalling, but now please stop doing that for a minute and let’s talk seriously”… annoy me a lot.
(Yeah, it would be easy to say that what I want is also signalling, just of a different kind. Whatever. Either way, I hate that kind of signalling.)
The ability to easily go meta—that is, stop and take a look at yourself “from the outside” is not common, probably more rare than “just” high intelligence.
