Yesterday as a creative activity I spent a couple hours making up tweets. It was actually really fun and cathartic! The last four had something to do with rationality:
I’m a politician and I’m not going to change my opinion because it’ll make me look bad. So shut up.
I’m a guy. I like that girl, so it’s time to project my desires onto her and rapidly turn her off.
“Anti-game” is quite common and involves being excessively nice thereby signaling very low value. Related to how humans have difficulty modeling others (typical mind fallacy? women are pickier when choosing mates than men)
I’m a persuasive writer. Time to construct an excessively detailed but improbable scenario in order to convince you. It worked!
Related to conjunction fallacy. Inspired by my experiences: more detailed writing with imagery was more effective (perhaps because it seemed more high status)
Do the research and thinking (Creativity and science). 2. Make the appealing case (Charisma). Can you switch between gears?
Hold Off on Proposing Solutions. What looks smart (the confident charisma) isn’t necessarily the smart thing to do. Inspired by personal experiences where political discussions were charisma competitions.
My tweets were too abstract, lacked links to LW or Wikipedia, may have been too obvious and were seen by pretty much noone.
But it sure was fun, so I encourage people to explore Alexandros’ suggestion.
