If I may suggest replacing certain Less Wrongish jargon with more everyday language:
Over the last year, I’ve self-modified to mostly not mind being wrong
How about “I’ve changed myself to . . .”?
I had a negative affect about the argument
Consider “I felt bad about . . .”.
Note that the phrase “feel bad about” is often understood to imply guilt, specifically, rather than negative affect in general.
True. Something more specific, like:
“Recalling the argument made me cringe.”
(or whatever the actual conditions and type of feeling were). Both “feel bad about” and the original are vague.
