For months, I have built a new home for my online content: www.turntrout.com. I brooked no compromises. Over 2,220 commits later, I’m ready to publicize.
Welcome to The Pond!
I commissioned this GIF for $270.94. I paid a bit extra to ensure the goose honks twice.
I don’t want to be on LessWrong anymore. Briefly, the site—and parts of the rationality community—don’t meet my standards for discourse, truth-seeking, charity, and community health. For the most part, I’ll elaborate my concerns another time. This is a happy post.
The research page summarizes my past and present research interests, along with short retrospectives on the older areas.
My dating doc!
Like any good trout seeking a mate, I’ve prepared my nesting grounds with care. While trout typically build their nests (called “redds”) in gravel stream beds, I’ve taken the initiative to construct mine in digital form. Female trout are known to carefully inspect potential nesting sites before choosing their mate—and I encourage similar scrutiny of my dating doc.
Are you the kind of person I’m looking for? If so, you should totally read the doc and then fill out your Google Form to indicate interest and then wait patiently!
From now on, I will write my content from turntrout.com. I plan to cross-post to LessWrong but to not read or reply to comments (with a few planned exceptions). For example, I'll be reading and replying to some comments on this post. :)
I remember writing a note a few years ago on who I wished would to create a long site, and your pseudonym was on the list. Happy to see that this has happened, even if for unfortunate reasons.
Historically, I've found that LW comments have been a source of anxious and/or irritated rumination. That's why I mostly haven't commented this year. I'll write more about this in another post.
If I write these days, I generally don't read replies. (Again, excepting certain posts; and I'm always reachable via email and enjoy thoughtful discussions :) )
Welcome to The Pond!
