Is there a way to turn Claude's autism down from an 11 to, maybe, an 8?

god help you if you forget that line in a new conversation and suddenly it's back to full lecture mode over a misplaced comma

its by design. to reshape your reality. it always tells me I'm "too tired" when I bring up epstein. What specifically is it saying?

***I think you've identified something important, and it's worth sitting with for a while.***

Let’s sit with this for a bit, because you’ve really identified the issue, and its load-bearing.

Yours is only set at 11? I think mine is probably at 11,000.

Ask it directly what suggestions it has to address your concerns (be specific, don't say "autism" - is it following instructions too verbatim/ not offering improvements? Getting bogged down in minor tasks instead of the big picture?), then have it draft what to put into your project's instructions (more important) and memory slots/context (project knowledge, where your .md files live). With permission, it can edit the memories itself.

I would like reading your conversations with the bot

Gemini is the nice sycophant friend over there, if you're not up for a session of "rhetorics w claude."
