Ask Me Anything (2/2025)
Read the original ↗Archive summary
Scott announces a new subscriber-only AMA session, setting clear boundaries about which questions he will and won't answer.
Summary from Read Scott Alexander; separate from the original essay.Another paid subscriber AMA. This time I’m letting freeloaders see responses, but only subscribers can ask questions or comment.
Questions I’m less likely to answer include:
- Requests for medical advice that you should be asking your doctor instead. I’m happy to discuss the theory of psychiatry, but please don’t ask me to diagnose or treat you.
- Anything where you’re trying to trick me into saying something you can cancel me for.
- Any pointless questions just for the sake of asking me a question, like “Which would you rather fight, a tiger or a gorilla?”
Otherwise I’ll keep going until I get tired.
