That’s one reason I’m here, but in the limited time the mortality tables give me I’d like to find a way to present myself favorably to almost any crowd.
In the past, very few have cheered me on and a more vocal few have fervently hoped I’d fail.
There is value in having crowds that view you mildly and strongly disfavourably, but much of this value depends on the rule of law in one’s immediate environment.
Cost: Not much that I wasn’t already doing, less optimally.
Benefit: Social group that I can count on to at least TRY to be epistemically honest. Also, openness towards odd people.
Risk: Pariah? I’m already considered odd by a lot of people.
Cost of being less wrong: increased cognitive load?
Benefit oblw: longer life expectancy?
Risk oblw: becoming a pariah in most crowds?
Finding a crowd that allows your abilities to bloom is a useful skill as well :)

There’s no reason you should be a pariah accidentally simply because you have clarified your goals or gotten better at implementing them.
One possibility—your estimate of how many people are not friends to you. That sucks, but you can’t force another person to be a good person at you.
Remember the right way to approach someone-is-wrong-on-the-internet, and apply the same principle to in-person interactions.
This is a much harder, and dramatically different goal, from not being a pariah.

I was very inefficient when I was more wrong. Definately lower cognitive load now.

The textbooks written about my personality type say I’m “eccentric”.
