Vow
I wish to cure the poisoned well of these falsehoods:
- that I care not about your experiences as rationalists;
- that I put myself above 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.
I also wish to solve a key tension in my values. Everything I say proactively violates either my standard for the group's purpose (promoting rationalist principles), or my conscience on the group's wellbeing (breaking rationalist frame bias). This shall not continue.
