The example you use is already CW-enough that high-decouplers may be suspicious or hostile of the point you are trying to make.
Then again, maybe anything elsewould be too far removed from our shared experience that it wouldn’t serve as a quick and powerful illustration of your point.
Here are some suggestions made with both of these points in mind:
--The original example Scott uses about a Jew in future Czarist Russia constantly hearing about how powerful Jews are and how evil Israel is.
--Flipping the script a bit, how about an example in which someone goes around saying “86% of rationalists are straight white men” (or something like that, I don’t know the actual number).
--Or: “Effective Altruists are usually people who are biased towards trying to solve their problems using math.”
Come to think of it, I think including one of those flip-script examples would be helpful in other ways as well.
Hmm, well the article has an example, but it is super long and I’m trying to avoid this becoming political. Any suggestions for examples?
