Hello xtrapol8.

I've read some of what you've written.

I don't agree with all of it. In particular I don't believe a lot of your metaphysical claims.

I think the idea of intelligence as understanding how probabilities are distributed is compelling. I don't understand all of your ideas. But I can see value in what you're thinking and writing about.

If you want to be someone's undeceiver, you need to ask more questions and tell them less of what you think. Think along the lines of how Socrates engaged with people. It's not because of anything to do with the content of what you think. It's because people don't change their mind from hearing what you say. They change their mind by entertaining a new perspective that's fresh to them.

Or don't do that. It's just my two cents. If I appear to give a command, it's just grammatical/rhetorical. You do you.

I hope you are well. I wish you the best.

Well, thanks for the vote of confidence. And remember, like those posts which speak to you! Karma hemorrhaging accounts apparently loose the ability to comment.

If you’re curious about more of that “metaphysical” stuff, check my threads before they’re white-holed!

For sure. If you do lose the ability to comment here for any reason, my email is in my profile. You are always welcome to write me. I am bad at responding though so I can't promise I will respond, and if I do it will probably take a long time.
