I was also pleasantly surprised to notice how little this thread was mindkilled.
As for something I learned, the distinction between individual interpretation of someone’s behavior as charismatic v. an individual’s social status within a group was made salient in a way that let me notice it. There’s several other things I can’t call to mind but which I’m pretty sure I did learn.
I think you may have misread the comment you are replying to. He said that this thread had a low signal to noise ratio, and expressed disbelief that anyone “honestly… learned something from this thread.”
Honestly, I might just be filtering out the noise at this point—or having recently worked out how to point out that a comment is noise in a certain way might be helping me consider noise more of a learning experience and less of a blank field.
