Letting go of the assumption that karma means much above −3 would also go a long way. Karma is just here really to keep trolls away.
When a comment I make is not upvoted to at least +3, I give a moment’s consideration to the question of what I did wrong (and delete some of the comments that fail this test).
Some of your comments should be useful to the elite but not the masses. Such comments are only sometimes voted to +3. E.g., IIRC you regularly make decision theory comments that don’t go to +3, so it seems you don’t follow this rule even when talking about important things.
(It’s only semi-related, but who cares about the votes of the masses anyway? You’re here to talk to PCs and potential PCs, which is less than 1% of the LessWrong population. You’re beyond the point of rationality where you have to worry about not caring about NPCs becoming a categorical rule followed by everyone. On that note, you should care about the opinion of the churchgoer more, and the LessWronger less. Peace out comrade.)
