But I don’t know why it’s downvoted so far—it’s an important topic, and I’m glad to have some more discussion of it here (even if I disagree with the conclusions and worry about the unstated assumptions).
I agree with this. The author has made a number of points I disagree with but hasn’t done anything worthy of heavy downvotes (like having particularly bad epistemics, being very factually wrong, personally attacking people, or making a generally low-effort or low-quality post). This post alone has changed my views towards favouring a modification of the upvote/downvote system.
