Mod note: after reviewing this post, I don’t think it meets LessWrong’s bar for quality. I’m moving it back to drafts. We’re in the process of fine-tuning our moderation policy but you can read up on our thoughts here.
We’re slightly more flexible when it comes to criticism, but it’s fairly common to have criticism that some combination of factually mistaken, not well argued, and/or rehashing old arguments without acknowledging and addressing old counterarguments. This post seems to fall in this category.
(It’s best to think of LessWrong as somewhere between “a forum” and “a university.” A university might include undergrads learning new skills, as well as grad students and professors working on novel research. But everyone there has still been vetted in some way, i.e. submitting an application and/or passing an entrance exam. You can try again with another comment or post, but I do ask before you do that you read through this thread to get a rough sense of what to do differently in the future. You should expect a lot of both learning and cultural onboarding in order to be a good fit for LessWrong)
