I have the feeling we’re talking past each other a bit. I suspect talking about this poll was kind of a distraction. I personally have the sense of trying to convey a central point, and instead of getting the point across, I feel the conversation keeps slipping into talking about how to interpret minor things I said, which I don’t see as very relevant.
I will probably take a break from replying for now, for these reasons, although I’d be happy to catch up some time and maybe have a call to discuss these questions in more depth. I definitely see you as trying a lot harder than most other EAs in trying to make progress on these questions collaboratively with me.
I’d be very happy to have some discussion on these topics with you Matthew. For what it’s worth, I really have found much of your work insightful, thought-provoking, and valuable. I think I just have some strong, core disagreements on multiple empirical/epistemological/moral levels with your latest series of posts.
That doesn’t mean I don’t want you to share your views, or that they’re not worth discussion, and I apologise if I came off as too hostile. An open invitation to have some kind of deeper discussion stands.[1]

I’d like to try out the new dialogue feature on the Forum, but that’s a weak preference
Agreed, sorry about that.
