METR, EA, and others being attacked

Always focus on what you can learn from people and groups. Criticize in ways where you can learn something from the answer (or non-answer) and from the dialogue. If you attack how people look, their sex lives, their donors, whatever, it will make the critic stupider. It may not even hurt the target of the attack, as it provides valuable publicity and also makes them look powerful. Furthermore, there is nothing per se wrong with being “weird.” What does that really mean anyway? I’ve spent much of my life looking for “the weird,” though I would not frame it in those terms.
