Reminds me of Joscha Bach’s definition of a nerd, from his Lex Friedman podcast episode:

<paraphrase> “The definition of a nerd is someone who thinks conversation is for peer reviewing ideas.” “What do non-nerds think conversation is for?” “Negotiating alignment.” </paraphrase>

A good difference to keep in mind when we want to bend parallel conversations with the alignment negotiators to intersection.
