i think "bad at thinking" is key, different than "intelligent" theres an element of self control involved thats not broadly taught and seems to be endowed or learned rarely but feels key i think ASD-adjacent people often though not always have an advantage here https://t.co/8sEL7LN1tW
@robinhouston @eigenrobot not for me thinking is a tool fit for a purpose, low-decoupling thinking is fit for some purposes (eg. day to day status regulation in a tribe) and not others (eg. academic theorizing) it has its place for sure https://t.co/ox8dA2atCL
autistic centrists think that words are just words, harmless little things, why don't you guys want words? but of course words are not just words, words are a coordination mechanism (tbh a lot of things are a coordination mechanism) https://t.co/IK0uHj6lGg
@mechanical_monk @eigenrobot wait, @acidshill already said this (even less tactfully than me) https://t.co/gDMcVUjvsf
hm probably https://t.co/lffvgwnj56
ok it feels related but different or maybe just a subset of possible modes also not to do this AGAIN but perhaps kegan 3: coupling kegan 4: decoupling kegan 5: recoupling https://t.co/fNEfPUG1cF

@QiaochuYuan @eigenrobot which sounds like i'm just attempting to be "funny" but i mean maybe i don't have to have a position on whether "sex, overall, good" or "sex, overall, bad" i can feel in which direction virtue lies in my own personal life, and it's not easy, but easier than constructing opinions
@QiaochuYuan @eigenrobot anyway i'm not kegan 5 yet https://t.co/UO8AXD1pfr
@mechanical_monk @QiaochuYuan i think i yelled this at qc wrt sex discourse basically yeah same spot if i understand you sex as an absolute good or bad is a barmy stance https://t.co/bjt8v9fBAa
@eigenrobot @mechanical_monk [pushes up glasses] sexual eternalism https://t.co/PM6n4xoGpf
@DRMacIver @eigenrobot yup, IME if you want people to seriously consider morally charged hypotheticals you have to do a lot of work to earn their trust first, bc otherwise you pattern match to "threatening to the social order" https://t.co/zskY0IszbU
Friendly Ambitious Nerd fixes this š thinking (asking questions, being a nerd) is historically contrary to human culture. Most human creativity was expended suppressing creativity, bc perceived threat to the social order. Society is broadly anti-thinking, always has been https://t.co/o3wSiTjHdD
@visakanv @eigenrobot Yeah. I think a lot of bad Twitter experiences come from people behaving in ways only suitable for high trust environments, which are then visible to people who don't trust them because Twitter is public.
@eigenrobot if you're dumb you can only do mild damage to yourself and others before you run out of juice/steam. random shouting and thrashing about if you're smart you can do advanced damage to yourself and others. invent ideology, send millions of people to hell
@eigenrobot usually the problem is smart people are cowards, and they are looking for their keys under the streetlights of their intelligence, instead of in the bushes of their fear where they dropped them https://t.co/wDKS62i5dG
@eigenrobot in case above tweet unclear https://t.co/jZuQSJ7uFW https://t.co/9iXOJu9G0w
