    Helen Pluckrose Retweeted Evan Sandhoefner

    I avoided 'introvert; for a while because people got pretentious about it. I say 'unsociable' mostly. I'm also wary of 'progressive' although it fits because people associate it with views I consider regressive.https://twitter.com/MonkeyMorality/status/953405273372160001 …

    Been thinking about labels that people avoid due to baggage. "Feminist" (@HPluckrose, etc.) & "utilitarian" (Josh Greene, @SamHarrisOrg, etc.) come up a lot for me. Wondering if "vegan" deserves a similar treatment. What other semi-appropriate labels do you avoid for yourself?

        LOL! I'm not quite that bad. I like company provided it's talking about something interesting. ('Interesting' being defined by the very narrow range of things that interest me.)

        Replying to @HPluckrose

        'Introverted' has definitely become 'I'm deep and mysterious' recently, as in a bit a of a 'self-depreciating but not really' way of describing yourself. Also, "I'm a bit 'on the spectrum'".

        "progressive" has fallen to the same fate as "literally"

        Still call myself progressive, despite the regressives tarnishing it. It’s like atheist.

        Replying to @HPluckrose

        to resolve the issue with Progressive I use capital P. Since I'm non-Anglo Saxon I'm loth to use liberal because in non-Anglo Saxon world it doesn't mean Socialdemocrat/center-left/Green but most often mean closer to classic liberal.

        Replying to @HPluckrose

        I’ve been intentionally overusing the word “solipsist” because I thnk it appropriately describes the prevailing worldview in the political extremes. I’m getting ready to start slinging “egocentric” soon in my crusade against false champions of social justice.
