I’ve been lurking on and off for a while but now it seems to be a good time to try playing in the LW fields. We’ll see how it goes.
I’m interested in “correct” ways of thinking, obviously, but I’m also interested in their limits. The edges, as usual, are the most interesting places to watch. And maybe to be, if you can survive it.
No particular hot-burning questions at the moment or any specific goals to achieve. Just exploring.
Hello, Lumifer! Welcome to smart-weird land. We have snacks.
So you say you have no burning questions, but here’s one for you: as a new commenter, what are your expectations about how you’ll be interacting with others on the site? It might be interesting to note those now, so you can compare later.
In the net space I generally look like an irreverent smartass (in the meatspace too, but much attenuated by real relationships with real people). So on forums where I hang out, maybe about 10% of the regulars like me, about a quarter hate me, and the rest don’t care. One of the things I’m curious about is whether LW will be different.
Or maybe I will be different—I can argue that my smartassiness is just allergy to stupidity. Whether that’s true or not depends on the value of “true”, of course...

Hm, an interesting question.
