Specialist Creators with Small Audiences

Got it. Since the posts were from this thread itself I just numbered them instead of linking them but I’ll link them from now on.

I went back through #49 and #55. My current map of the attacks and unresolved concerns is:

  1. the word acknowledged made my criticism sound like your own view.
  2. LMD could have got you there months ago sounded like accusing you of irrationality / hypocrisy / resisting error correction.
  3. forum quietness + bandwidth / full time thing sounded like implying you don’t respond enough or your posts are too low effort.
  4. the capitalism thread felt closed point was part of the broader negativity and lacked enough specifics to change or debate.
  5. people cared and stopped trying + outclass people at debate was part of the broader negativity and seemed not established by prior discussion.
  6. #45 / #54 raised too many connected complaints at once.
  7. my earlier positive feedback and like on Capitalism Means Policing Big Companies - #221 by Elliot made it look like I had accepted your earlier answer.
  8. the people in general line sounded like saying you were below average at some philosophy skill.
  9. early diagnostic feedback looked inconsistent with already posting a lot and saying positive things.
  10. the pattern looked like saving up multiple grievances and sharing them simultaneously.

I think I’ve already addressed a lot of this, but I can see some parts may not have landed. I need your or anyone else’s help to know which one I should go into next. I’ll start with 8, the clearest repeated one: by people I discuss ideas with I meant slacks and discords like this quant one and by people in general I meant people I have to substantively interact with because of my context which is mostly students for projects/assignments and professors and administrators. I didn’t mean your average Joe. I didn’t see then and still don’t see how interaction friction says anything about your philosophy or cognitive skill. I was trying to describe my sense of interaction friction, not your philosophy skill.
