aella is such a perfect guest for whatever
it actually feels like watching an alien first encounter. their priors are so different that communication becomes almost impossible
the contrast she has with the turbonormies in the room, the autistic micromovements, the candor

- Replying to @torulaneincreasingly convinced andrew(?) does not grasp just how autistic aella is the 'traps' don't really work as she doesn't operate on gotchas, but on lesswrong principles. she is literally incapable of being shortcircuited andrew theory of mind 3/10 aella seem to piss him off
- Replying to @torulanediscussing the gangbang "yeah the first one was a virgin who offered me his heart rate data"
- Replying to @torulanevery hard to listen to this, i don't know how this show got big aella is a survey designer and a giant data nerd. she has iteratively become good at what she does and she understands the methodology andrew on the other hand doesn't seem to understand what a control group is
- Replying to @torulane> "who should have the final say in a relationship?" > "idk whoever pays the most" they should probably bet on it i think. set up a prediction market or something
- Replying to @torulane> i write guides on how to be a whore, how to stay safe and such. it's difficult to even get started yknow > (host) yeah i tried it once > oh you tried it? how was it? > (host) ... uhh i was just joking > oh
- Replying to @torulane> i feel like if you have kids then you cannot tell them i wasn't into your dad > why not?? > i would definitely tell them > but don't you think it would hurt them? > well pain is just coming into contact with reality and when you're in contact then it doesn't hurt anymore
- Replying to @torulaneokay i know exactly how this got big incredible ego stroking. this man is great at saying big words in a confident manner. he exists at the peak of dunning kruger. no real chain of thought behind the words. just a smug chainsmoker.
- Replying to @torulaneoverall a pattern i'm noticing is aella always approaching in good faith, opening her thoughts, steelmanning the opposition (very rationalist coded) and andrew not allowing any visibility into thinking, trying to gotcha, interjecting about technicalities and definitions
- Replying to @torulanehe seems to think that a control is the experiment being done? i am finding it very hard to follow his train of thought, but he does not mean a double blind they have a whole 20 minute segment of aella desperately trying to explain 6th grade science to him
- Replying to @torulaneand aella rage quits. i would have walked out a while ago she really did come in with the best of intents and the patience of a saint it was fine until andrew got backed into a corner. i guess it's too much to ask from podcast hosts to have something besides than charisma
- Replying to @jiraticketsbro does NOT get bitches i just know it. he's never going to procreate smh
- Replying to @torulane
- Replying to @0bNARAlosing braincells over here. begging them to understand statistics. probably like 40 minutes of real content in the whole thing (when aella gets to talk)
