I’m not sure how much I can elaborate—it seemed like a very undifferentiated ugh field. I not only didn’t want to do more, I didn’t want to think about how to get myself to do more.
It took some sense of duty to make my first comment rather than just letting the whole thing go.
Do you think “ugh” should be listed as a response to survey questions? (Or equivalently a check box that says “I’ve left some answers blank due to ugh field rather than due to not reading the question”—not possible with the current LW software, just brainstorming)
I clicked, and then found I was up against way too much akrasia to want to address the questions.
Wow, interesting! I’d definitely like to hear you elaborate if you’re comfortable.

That’s not a bad idea—possibly a short version would be “I don’t want to think about the subject”.
