LessWrong has a particularly high bar for content from new users and this contribution doesn't quite meet the bar.
Unhelpfully aggressive.
Read full explanation
I previously posted a dating ad in which I lamented the moral and intellectual faculties of others, and (26M) requested a GF who was intelligent, low neuroticism, socially intelligent, conscientious, and other things. This ad was disliked because it evidenced a disagreeable attitude.
People are wont to mimic whatever attitude they see, such as a disagreeable attitude, if they lack the social intelligence requisite to analyze what motivates the behavior. I clearly stated that I was frustrated with the fact that people are frequently unintelligent, neurotic, irrational, and fearful. This weirdo chimed in to tell me that I was apparently low in self confidence, and would be assisted by increasing my self confidence, because he was compelled to mimic my own disposition, thinking that I had initiated "contest mode", rather than understand why I felt that way.
I refuse to believe that there is not one person somewhere, most likely on a low neuroticism forum such as lesswrong, who is not a little annoying Nelly, and I demand service. My previous post, which is a little more informative as it concerns who I am looking for, can be seen on my profile.
Do you have the social intelligence requisite to figure out that I was laughing when I wrote this? This little goober "Gordon Worley", who is an utterly predictable and typical type of person, proceeded to tell me that I was having romantic difficulties because I lacked self confidence, which really was an act of projection, since he stated that he had difficulty loving himself for the longest time.
I have absolutely no problem with myself whatsoever. I am searching for SOMEONE ELSE TO HAVE REQUISITE QUALITIES AND TO PERFORM LABOR, not to bitch at me about some failing in themselves they imagine I have, "wow that was harsh - maybe he doesn't know not to be so harsh?", I do and it was a JOKE. Let's go.
This post must be accepted, first of all, because of its level of power, secondly, because lesswrong collectively understands that fear produces cognitive biases and errors, and this post is like a kind of memo or mascot of fearlessness, which runs contrary to the apparent fact that lesswrong FEARS ROMANCE. This post is it not even irrational, in a utilitarian sense, since it costs me nothing and can potentially pay great dividends - probabilistic thought. But your fears may tell you, and I mean for this to be read in the weakest possible voice, "he can't do that! there's no way that would work!" I don't CARE if it doesn't work, it is a probabilistically rational action. I don't care if it's WEIRD, I don't care if its DISAGREEABLE, I don't care it's CHAOTIC, I don't care if its suboptimal from the standpoint of attracting women generally rather than who I am actually looking for, etc, only that typing this and hitting the send button is low risk, in fact it is fun for me, and has a small chance of producing a positive consequence.
Such a fearful disposition produces real harm. As, there are many instances in which I was READY TO ASSIDUOUSLY PERFORM RATIONAL LABOR FOR THE SAKE OF A GIRL, or even in other instances for men e.g in the workplace, but instead of that entirely socially positive action being facilitated, I receive "XGer31 you're scaring me", or some dressed up iteration thereof, like "XGer31 your will to conscientiously assist with my finances is really freaking me out, I liked it better when we were aimlessly talking", "XGer31 your dating ad is evidence of low self confidence", I am sure all of your collective tech industry heroes are frightening likewise, because nobody wants to do anything and therefore fear one who wishes to perform labor.
"XGer31 that's really grandiose", I'm still fucking laughing.
It is my experience that there are two types of people who suppose themselves to be rational. One type, which is comparatively imperfect in rationality, believes that rationality is actually some process that is assumed to lead to it, such as stoicism, careful thinking, conservative judgements, etc - this type of person I most often associate with doctrinaire attitudes of one kind or another, since really they are not so much rational, as they are analytical, as in the manner that one may analytically understand Catholic theology or something like that. The second does not make any excuses about it, but rather DIRECTLY PERFORMS RATIONAL ACTION AND THOUGHT, which often times presents itself in a chaotic manner as may be evident in my own behavior, since when all things are utilized for the sake of rationality, they are disrupted from their habitual irrational norms, such as from biases. Only certain people are not automatic animals, and biases, irrational fears, ideas of what self confidence or rationality are "supposed to look like", etc, are the processes of automation.
