This article has formatting issues. Also, I don’t know enough to check if whatever social science in it is sound. However, I’m unsure there’s too much to check. The biggest possible problem I perceive is just the one user “estimator” pointed out: everything could be changed into “external” factors. If we nail down what we mean by external or internal factors it could work better. If you could find appropriate terminology to replace “external/internal”, I think that would be warranted for the sake of making the insight here more coherent. You might want to make the diagram slightly better, i.e., it would be sufficient to replace to make the words more legible from within MS Paint.
Other than that, I agree with this article. I think if you polished the article based on what I’ve pointed out above, this article would be sufficient to post in Main. Note: I think users on LessWrong are too cautious in not posting good content they produce in Main, and they should take more risks in doing so. This may be biasing my recommendations.
