- lovely organizing the particulars quote by David Chapman
- > Generally speaking, in Dzogchen, “non-duality” means “neither separate nor identical”; and then the details of what that means needs to be worked out in particular situations.
- great post by Eliezer Yudkowsky on illusion of transparency and how he learned while writing HPMOR that his words weren't sufficient to pin down his meanings
- > So it taught me that Illusion of Transparency isn't about hint-missing, it's about there really actually respectably being multiple interpretations. And that was when I started to understand that my words were really actually not pinning down the meaning I had in my own mind, because I couldn't see all the possibilities I needed to exclude, because I was blinded by my own knowledge of the intended answer.
- #2tweet - make a new thread that explains the towardsness/awayness thing, rather than having to wander around Cosimia's - I created a thread by replying to Cosimia, and it prioritized all of her replies, meaning that my chain of 1,2,3,4,5 gets broken up by hers and then my replies to her are shown first
