Thanks. I'm not like that IRL face to face except for a very small subset of close friends. If you like that kind of high information rate, discursive exploration, then you'd probably like or are already hanging around the folks at dredmorbius' various lairs, what used to be slatestarcodex, and gwern.net as jumping off points. I still hold wan hope the Net will lead to the kind of introspection writing tends to encourage. Thanks for letting me know hnchat is gone. I moved to protonmail.ch and updated my HN profile appropriately.
