I do want to acknowledge—resolving disputes about the overton window needs to happen somehow in Civil World.
I think at least some of those disputes can dissolve in an Archipelago-esque lens.
I think a lot of things-that-cause-demon-threads are actually just pointless. (i.e. demon threads about economic policy seem less useful than demon threads about social norms, since the latter actually affect your social group. The former are only useful for tribal signaling, which is probably also important but I think can probably be refactored a bit).
(Man, I’m not happy with the connotations of “Civil World”, in particular because I’m the one who linked to Civility is Never Neutral at the beginning. Not sure what else to call it. “Rational World” feels, well, differently loaded. “Idealized/Platonic Rational World?”)
