Iβm sure everyone who stats-trolled Aella over the years will be happy to see that she now seems to have a much better grasp of how science and the growth of knowledge work than the average redpill guy.

Neighbor you do not need a control arm to find correlation.
You can "control" for different factors, but you don't need a dedicated control arm like you think.
I have a buddy who is very similar to this guy but not an oldcel (NCT, mildly Latinx looking, not very high iq (1400 sat but talks about midwits), believes in the redpill, and sends me Save Europe Reels.
Would probably get mogged by this Hooker too

Your mistake was low-decoupling when you should have been adaptation-maximizing.

I think by "playing low/high" they mean "pretending to be on downer/upper drugs"? Not sure
I've never heard her talk, but I think she's just neurodivergent. Elon has a similar accent.

I think it's:
User #1: Is Aella talking down to him? Perhaps if she had asked him harder questions he wouldn't have gotten defensive at an attempt at looking like she's above him in the social ladder.
User #2: I think she started speaking at a high level then realized he'd stumble at easy stuff and focused on that.
User #1: I think she tried to go easy on him but that was still too hard for him.
User #2: I misunderstood, you didn't mean high-low level concepts, but social ranking. I think speaking about low-level concepts is for teaching and thus puts you at a higher standing.
I dunno, that's what makes the most sense to me. How they manage to understand each other I have no idea.

If I had to guess, playing low means going: "Name 10 books"
