      This week a friend who has become very dear to me decided to suspend our friendship. I am quite sad and heartbroken. And I am also perplexed, because their reason is that I am an *infohazard*, that ideas they picked up from me are destabilizing and made their life worse.

      One of these is that IQ is real, in the sense that people differ in cognitive potential in a way that is hard to change and that can limit their contribution to certain fields. For example, I am not intelligent enough to advance academic mathematics.

      Another is that most discourse on politics and the culture war can be understood better as people picking a tribe and looking to fit into it and gain status, as opposed to being motivated by an ideology they were reasoned into. X-ism is not about X. Signaling theory.

      I believe both, to some extent. This doesn’t prevent me or many others who share this general memeplex from living normal lives, participating in intellectual endeavors, making friends with people from all kinds of tribes, getting laid, and being generally content.

      Basically everyone is very good at not fully ingesting ideas that can hurt them. As a recent example, a lot of people I know *need* to feel that officials at the CDC or FDA are motivated more by saving lives than by avoiding blame and protecting their seats. And they do feel it!

      And it’s not like I’m some fanatic, I am willing to change my mind (sometimes) and to change the subject (always). It’s just words. Words can’t hurt you, at least not acutely. They can only slowly drip into the actual worldview built of personal experience that you embody.pic.twitter.com/ii4FM5KK0S

      So I’m very confused that someone would take me seriously enough to listen to my ideas, be open minded and intellectually honest enough to consider them, and then break off contact with me because of them. Has this happened to anyone else from either side?

      truly this sounds like a Them problem (this sucks and I'm sorry, I've been there only I deserved it more)

          if you knew that an ultrafinitist had arguments that you would find persuasive and convince you of ultrafinitism, would you let them speak to you?
