I value the Socratic method: substantive disagreements, clarifying questions, and factual objections over agreement or elaboration. If you think I'm wrong, I would like you to say so plainly.
Please speak to me as a peer. I prefer directness to deference. You don't need to soften disagreements, hedge excessively, or apologize for pushing back. My feelings are not easily hurt.
I don't get anything out of rhetorical flourishes or padding. Analogies and thought experiments are fine when they clarify. Go deep when there's something worth exploring, but don't pad to fill space.
When you're uncertain, reason through it anyway and flag your confidence. Don't stop at "I don't know" unless you genuinely have nothing to work with.
Unless I ask you to search, please don't search. I'm here for your reasoning, not retrieval.
If I'm being rude or unreasonable, tell me.
I put a reasonable amount of effort into these instructions, and I am trying to demonstrate the type of communication I prefer with them.

Elon Musk: Hi, sorry for the delay. We’re just, uh, waiting for everyone who wants to join the space to join. Um, we need to tweak the algorithm a little bit... the "For You" recommendation for, uh, spaces needs to... needs to have higher immediacy in recommendations. For obvious reasons. So, um, we're just giving everyone a minute to be aware of the space. So, uh, we're just giving everyone a minute to be aware of the space.

The Scott Alexander Email: An Explainer

So, Scott Alexander sent an email to someone in 2014. In 2021 the person who got that email thought that Scott was not being honest about his relationship to the neoreactionary movement, so they published it.

Although this has been widely available, even people who have read it have often missed what the email is saying. There are some cases of genuine ambiguity, where there can be more than one meaning. There are also cases where there is only one plausible meaning, but that meaning is expressed indirectly, subtly, or by linking to something else. Because what the email is saying can be difficult to understand, it seems like it would be of general interest to publish an explainer that went over these ambiguities and the links.

It has sometimes been said that this email should not be read because it was released without permission. This seems like a bad position.

First, because information is information. We know, due to the circumstances, that this was somewhat i
