Did you collect the data for their actual median timelines, or just its position relative to 2030? If you collected higher-resolution data, are you able to share it somewhere?
I really appreciate you taking the time and writing a whole post in response to my post, essentially. I think I fundamentally disagree with the notion that any past of this game is adversarial, however. There are competing tensions, one pulling to communicate more overtly about their feelings, and one pulling to be discreet and communicate less overtly. I don't see this as adversarial because I don't model the event " finds out that is into them" to be terminally bad, just instrumentally bad; It is bad because it can cause the bad things, which is what a large part of my post is dedicated to.
I find it much more useful to model this as a cooperative game, but one in which is cooperating with two different counterfactual s, the one who reciprocates the attraction and the one who does not. is trying to maximize both people's values by flirting in the way I define in this post, there's just uncertainty over which world they live in. If they knew which world they lived in, then the strategy for maximizing both and 's values looks a lot less conflicted and complicated; either they do something friendship-shaped or something romance-shaped, probably.
Ah that's interesting, thanks for finding that. I've never read that before, so that wasn't directly where I was drawing any of my ideas from, but maybe the content from the post made it somewhere else that I did read. I feel like that post is mostly missing the point about flirting, but I agree that it's descriptively outlining the same thing as I am.
