Ok, to clarify: It doesn’t really matter that this is a politics post because you think that it fulfills the three criteria? Then where do the “tribal error modes” enter the criteria? Or do you think they only follow from violating timelessness or explanation style?
Yeah, basically. I am not claiming those three principles capture everything, they are definitely not perfect. But they were chosen to capture most of the bad aspects, and posts about politics that avoid all three do feel a lot less doomy to me (though some definitely remains, and if we notice bad consequences from frontpaging things like this, we should expand those criteria).
