This reminds me of something

said on eigenpodcast about rationalist parties... you couldn't have possibly come up with a stronger cue for a change in social frame... and they still just wanna talk about global trade.

yeah this is exactly what i was talking about lol

I can't tell whether it's bad lol. It's probably a proclivity that assists the project of finding a metaphysics (way of thinking) that generalizes over every phenomenon and activity, being always in one frame, one has to make it a pretty damn good frame.

it's probably a thing some people want if they keep doing it and/but i eventually realized that i did not want it and that was an important difference between me and (some) other rationalists ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yeah, same. i really admire it about them, and i'm grateful that some people are out there thinking very hard about these things, but also i really want a party where a different part of the brain comes online. problem is i want to do that with rationalists!

have i tried to sell you on "nonverbal party" yet no spoken words, no written words, all consent etc. has to be navigated nonverbally, all of this is in the party description so people who aren't up for it don't come

oh i don't remember. this might be good. i've done it before in non-rationalist circles and it got pretty boring after an hour or so. But even an hour might be good!

wow really? hmm. maybe needs a warm-up with authentic relating games or contact improv or something first to set the tone properly

like maybe one room is set up as "verbal station" and there's a rotating person there who can offer emotional first-aid to anyone who is having a lot of feelings about nonverbal party
