Hey Johannes, I don’t quite know how to say this, but I think this post is a red flag about your mental health. “I work so hard that I ignore broken glass and then walk on it” is not healthy.
I’ve been around the community a long time and have seen several people have psychotic episodes. This is exactly the kind of thing I start seeing before they do.
I’m not saying it’s 90% likely, or anything. Just that it’s definitely high enough for me to need to say something. Please try to seek out some resources to get you more grounded.
Seeing this post get so strongly upvoted makes me feel like I’m going crazy.
This is not the kind of content I want on LessWrong. I did not enjoy it, I do not think it will lead me to be happier or more productive toward reducing x-risk, I don’t see how it would help others, and it honestly doesn’t even seem like a particularly well done version of itself.
Can people help me understand why they upvoted?
