2024-12-24# Value differences (Disclaimer)Your first impression after meeting me
in person or via audio/video call may be noticeably different from what you'd e
xpect if your only impression of me is from this website. Different contexts eli
cit diifferent slices of one's personality.My website attempts to have high info
rmation density of things not already obvious to you, and things you may disagre
e with. Whereas if we meet in person or on call, and don't know each other well,
it may be better to find things we agree on first.Also, if I'm meeting you in p
erson, I'm likely to put more effort trying to understand your values and belief
s, as compared to preaching my own values and beliefs. I want to understand you
and be able to empathise with you even if I don't agree with you.I am still tryi
ng to figure out the optimal balance between sharing my own views and trying to
understand other people's views. This is my current best attempt.My core values
include truth and empathy. If you practice these in your daily life, we are more
likely to get along, no matter what our specific values and beliefs may be.
