This is someone in the kingdom of the blind working very hard to crack open his eyes a bit and see what the rest of us find bloody fucking obvious.

The kingdom of the blind here is: smart people who are kind and thoughtful and working hard to figure out the best things for everyone and are very, very bad at intuitively understanding human emotions and interactions, raised in a liberal environment. In other words, Less Wrong

I recently learned that Less Wrong has recently adopted as one of its collective quirks and groupthink something called "Circling". As near as I can tell, it's an exercise in making explicit - and exploring - the underlying social dynamics normally implicit in conversations.

This is probably transformative for spergs, and is probably a good thing. It's probably moderately enlightening for even for normies. It seems to be very addictive, like other cultish radical-openness group-bonding social activities.

This is why the author spent SO MANY WORDS and SO MUCH TIME thinking hard about microaggressions. He's been specifically trained to recognize them, as part of deeply analyzing every aspect of every social interaction, due to participating in Circling workshops.

And he's had to think about what they mean, and how they work, and how people react to them, and what the implications are, and what happens when I microaggress you, and what happens when you notice that, and when you tell me that, and when I react to your telling me that, etc

I enjoy deep analytical takes for their own sake. I'd read a 600 page book on the science of steak. ...even if it didn't help me cook one better.
