I don’t want to know your ‘hidden agendas.’ I assume without an agenda, you wouldn’t have the motivation to say something interesting, like pjeby says here. I first heard it articulated by Penn and Teller saying ‘trying to become famous for the sake of being famous is vapid, be famous to spread your ideas’ in an interview.
If you tell me your agendas, I will think of those when reading your ideas, and it will make it easier to hide any further hidden agendas, because I’ll look at your ideas and know why you think that and stop looking for further agendas. Whether this is because your supposed agendas are rationalizations that make it easier for you to hide your agenda from yourself, or because you’re purposely using misdirection, doesn’t matter.
I’ve read here articles on detecting bias by playing word games that I never stopped using as a child… I think it’s a good habit to think that way constantly. I think that since we aren’t changing the world, we should look at each other with the standards we do with the rest of the world.
But if you’re just going to link to your old articles later without telling me, then it’s going to be easy enough to ignore it.
Moderate desire to signal not comprehending other’s obsessions with signaling as though it were something special.
