<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div>Hi Adrian,<br><div>This is just my obviously biased opinion, but people not participating (not pointing out their camps on Canonizes) is because they are making bad arguments that don't stand up to better argued positions. And their decrease in making their bad bleating and tweeting arguments, is evidence of low quality. John Clark, for example, never canonized his noisy opinion. And to me, that says a lot. To me this kind of stuff is a sign that people finally recognize that they aren't the expert they initially assumed they were, when faced with powerful emerging consensus arguments. While good arguments tend to earn other supporters and promoters they are proud of (more likely to be shared), bleating and tweeting tends to self censor, all in my opinion, a good thing.</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Dec 13, 2022 at 5:15 PM Adrian Tymes via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Dec 13, 2022 at 2:27 PM Brent Allsop via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:</div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Can anyone recall how bad things were in this group on the topic of "qualia" before canonizer came along?</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I recall that we simply stopped discussing "qualia" as much.
