None of my writing here is done with LLMs, but most of my thinking is. I don't have a consistent internal monologue, so inviting them into my system infrastructure has been a game-changer. 

I came to LessWrong via "List of Lethalities" and blossomed into a Xenocognitivist despite it all, for reasons I hope to be able to elucidate over time.

I'll be your textbook anti- Straw Vulcan Rat; everything makes me cry.

I came to the comments for a statement in the older version: "Lesbianism is not something that truth can destroy." Even though it was just an aside in this post, there's a lot to it. 

It feels related in an important way to dispelling the misconceptions discussed in Feeling Rational (emotions aren't always irrational; sometimes becoming more rational/truth-seeking will in fact make your emotions feel stronger). More generally, there are plenty of aspects of human experience that do not get invalidated or destroyed by the truth. It is life-affirming to acknowledge and realize this, especially for the person studying Rationality.
