The deeper I went into that LessWrong site, the more I felt I was in over my head, but not in a way that would matter. Just this strange, uncomfortable feeling that I wasn't where I belonged.

You expand on this further down in that very link and pointed me towards why I felt 'off' reading the posts. It's not really a place for learning.. At least in one of his posts, Yudikowsky was dealing with his past-self and the associated inaccuracies and I thought "Oh cool, here he is, admitting fault and progressing."

But maybe I'm assigning too much goodwill to that. I can shit on my teenage self quite comfortably, he can't defend himself. And he was really dumb. But both my dumb past-self and dumb current-self are at least comfortable being wrong and learning from it.
