“no criticizing unless you know what it is you’re criticizing. all discussion must already know what it’s saying.” nah. the karma is negative—that’s fine. I’m not deleting it, there’s nothing wrong with it being public. it’s fine and normal to say vague things before non-vague things actually. the thing I’m attempting to describe is a fact about the impact of yudkowsky’s communication; I’m not at all the only one who has observed it.

If you don’t know what you are saying, then it makes sense to be humble about what you are saying and not pretend that you have certainty.
yeah ok I see some issue there. fair enough.
