Hello HN,

I care a lot about community and discussion quality. With effort, patience, kindness, and curiousity, we can do great things. So let's invest in our culture. Let's strive to get better at learning and listening.

I have been accused of writing like an LLM. When I hear this, I may take it as a compliment, since I often rather like how LLMs write, to the extent it is organized, clear, and the result of an intelligent process.*

If you've made such an accusation at me, I would request that you reconsider. If one doesn't have a reliable way to get to ground truth, one is rather blind as to one's predictive accuracy. Basically, this is a fancy way of saying "recognize your own fallibility and don't be a jerk".

Besides, intellectually humility helps unlock many other valuable things.

Finally, if I was snide or rude to you in the past, I apologize. Life is a journey. Sometimes my desire to state the truth comes too bluntly.

Thanks, Xeno Phobia Extractor
