On this beautiful Saturday, we're keeping it simple with a little trick that combined with some honest meditation can achieve great things.


One of the recurring themes of "bad posting/commenting" on TRP is really just uncontrolled emotional reaction without introspection.

Every time you see:

  • Someone calling a Field Report fake

  • Slap fights over the semantics of word(s) rather than idea(s)

  • Moralizing

...and other flavors of shitposting, it is because the commentor or poster failed to ask a simple question:

What is it about these words that is causing me to have such a visceral reaction?

A lot of progress and introspection can be achieved just by genuinely asking yourself that question.

Does the field report make you sad or envious?

Are you engaging in Sophistry because you refuse to let go of your argument?

Are you moralizing because you're afraid of the guy who doesn't?


Ask yourself this question the next time you feel that NEED to let your reaction be known. You might be surprised to discover where it's coming from.
