Its been very hard to find people able to separate their emotions from an accurate description of reality even if it sounds like a different political tribe, or moreso that people are more willing to assume you are part of a political tribe if some words don't match their political tribe’s description of reality even if what was said was most accurate
I’m curious what I will see in these communities
- fossuser 6y agoI recommended some of my favorites in another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25866701 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25866701 I found the community around 2012 and I remember wishing I had known it existed too. In that list, the less wrong posts are probably what I'd read first since they're generally short (Scott Alexander's are usually long) and you'll get a feel for the writing. Specifically this is a good one for the political tribe bit: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/6hfGNLf4Hg5DXqJCF/a-fable-of-science-and-politics https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/6hfGNLf4Hg5DXqJCF/a-fable-of... As an aside about the emotions bit, it’s not so much separating them but recognizing when they’re aligned with the truth and when they’re not: https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/emotions https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/emotions
