Rationalist
I wish, for the sake of curing the well, to quell these falsehoods:
- that I am unsympathetic to your experiences as rationalists
- that I think myself better than anyone
- that I seek to be confirmed as right
- that I refuse to be seen or heard as wrong
- that I seek strife, conflict, or confusion
- that I take for myself a special place of knowledge or wisdom
- that I, or anyone here, may have a claim to absolute or higher meaning.
To this end . . .
I take a vow of silence on Thursdays, only broken by a call to speak or noble need. No longer shall I volunteer my spoken thoughts to anyone on this day of the week.
I forgo membership in the Kitchener-Waterloo Rationality Discord server, leaving room for those whom my long and frequent writings have crowded out.
I offer invitation to join me on Sundays from 1 and 5, to speak of anything we please.
They only ask a question if it confirms their fundamental values.
