“LW explains everything and will save the world. Therefore we are obligated to expand it as much as possible.” (my understanding of the great-grandparent comment)
Are you saying that was an implied question? It seemed more like a statement to me.
Anyway, I agree that many people here think that we should expand. I’m not criticizing you for saying that we should expand. I’m criticizing you for just saying that we should expand, when that’s already been said!
The original post said “I think we should try expanding. Here’s some ideas on how to expand.” Your comment said “I think we ought to expand because LW can save the world.” It didn’t fit well in context—it wasn’t really continuing the conversation. The only thing it added was “LW can save the world,” with no explanation or justification. I don’t think that’s useful to say.
Maybe if many people were saying “why should Less Wrong even get bigger?”, then you could have responded to them with this. That would have made more sense.
Did you realize THIS POST is actually bearing BIGGER AUDIENCE in it’s title?
I was refering on this—i wanted to know FOR WHAT PURPOSE the threatstarter
even considered a bigger audience.
You twisted my ideas.
