Ja me too, as long as its polluted with silliness and nothing genuinely
malicious or harmful. Im goofy but benign. {8^D
It occurred to me after I read Eliezer's enthusiastic response to
creating plausible deniability of any post in the future that all
extropians already have plausible deniability, because we often
quote each other, and being fallible carbon units, the attributions
sometimes get messed up. I have been quoted with things I
*know* I didnt write because the quotes contain words the
definitions of which I know not. Ive never worried much about
it, being an info nudist, but there are those who cry out with
righteous indignation whenever such an error occurs.
On extro wise day, we could intentionally misattribute quotes
in replies, restricting the game to a list of volunteers to be
misquoted, of course. This provides plausible deniability to
every dumb thing one ever posted.
I, spike, add my name to the Extro Wise Day Intentional
Misquote (EWDIM) list. I get to be EWDIM 0. spike
