A lot of people were deeply shocked by the comments you made about David Foster Wallace, even after he had tragically committed suicide, particularly when you said he was "the most tedious, overrated, tortured, pretentious writer of my generation".

What happened to create this feud ? Were you surprised at the backlash your comments received ?

Wow, thankyou, these are common sense points that i've tried to bring up in feminism debates but b/c people are so used to these terms now, they just accept that they must have some grounding in fact.

Seriously I know where you're coming from here.

As someone who's repeatedly been told that they can't talk about gender issues because "They're the Oppressor [of women]", I've more or less given up. I think the skill is in seeing when the person can have an intelligent discussion without resorting to dogma and without getting angry, and then just engaging with these people. Everyone else, ignore it.

As someone who rings churchbells, this is objectively awesome.

And although we're grateful for it, a lot of us would like to see something that can really work at taking inputs from natural language, which I'm not convinced alpha can properly do.
