I used to have a lot more fun writing, enjoying the vividness of language, and while I thank LessWrong for improving many aspects of my thinking, it has also stripped away almost all my verve for language. I think that’s coming from the defensiveness-nuance complex I’m describing, and since the internet is what it is, I guess I’d like to start by changing myself. But my own self-advice may not be right for others.
This is so sad.
