I have a lot of really smart and interesting critics—frequent commenter Mark, for instance. But some of my critics seem like they drop acid before typing out comments.

I don’t want to turn into a Nassim-Nicholas-Taleb-esque ball of grievance and complaints about those who disagree with me. In light of recent events, you might be worried that I am going down this path. But allow me a brief complaint about my critics—they don’t read what I said! They have AI-esque hallucinations where they simply make up things I never said.

CW: This will be unusually petty.
