@slatestarcodex slowly arguing himself out of being a rationalist in real time, I'm rooting for him:https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/06/06/asymmetric-weapons-gone-bad/ …

could you at least supply some dates at which i'd notice shifts?
Biggest shifts were January 2018, ~October 2018 (when I started reading Meaningness), and January 2019, although only the first one will be really noticeable in the posts, I think.

I always felt that the Chapman posts which most directly attacked "LWism" (to the extent that's a thing) consisted only of points that had also appeared in the comments section and in posts on LW itself; didn't expect new converts. Maybe it's the effect of seeing it all together?

It's not exactly that Meaningness told me anything I didn't know. I'd had some experiences and they'd shifted things in me, and Meaningness gave me language and concepts for organizing them. I didn't get anything when I tried reading it before having those experiences.

is this also related to you not being in math anymore?

Yeah, I decided to leave grad school pretty directly as a result of the first shift in January 2018. Meant to write a big long post about it on Annoying Precision but got distracted by a bunch of other stuff.
