Here are some attempted takeaways for things I’ve written, some of which were explicit at the time, some of which were implicit:
Covid-19: “Outside, social distance, wear mask.”
Simulacra (for different posts/models): “Truth, lies, signals, strategic moves” or “level manipulates/dominates level below” or “abstractions dominate, then system collapses”
Mazes: “Modern large organizations are toxic” or “middle management destroys your soul”
Asymmetric Justice: “Unintentional harms count, benefits don’t” or “Counting only harms destroys action” or similar.
Or one can notice that we are abstracting out a conclusion from someone else’s thing, or think about what we hope another will take away. Often but not always it’s the title. Constantly look to improve. Pain not unit of effort. Interacting with system creates blameworthiness. Default AI destroys all value. Claim bailey, retreat to motte. Society stuck in bad equilibrium. Etc.
