I agree with most of this point. I’ve added an ETA to the original to reflect this. My quibble (that I think is actually important) is that I think it should be less of a tradeoff and more of an {each person does the thing that is right for them}.
Endorsed, but that means when we’re talking about setting group norms and community standards, what we’re really shooting for is stuff that makes all the options available to everyone, and which helps people figure out what would be good for them as individuals.
Where one attractor near what you were proposing (i.e. not what you were proposing but what people might hear in your proposal, or what your proposal might amount to in practice) is “new way good, old way bad.”
Instead of “old way insufficient, new way more all-encompassing and cosmopolitan.”
Yeah, ideally would have lampshaded this more. My bad.
The part that gets extra complex is that I personally think ~2/3+ of people who say totalization is fine for them are in fact wrong and are missing out on tons of subtle things that you don’t notice until longer-term. But obviously the mostly likely thing is that I’m wrong about this. Hard to tell either way. I’d like to point this out more somehow so I can find out, but I’d sort of hoped my original comment would make things click for people without further time. I suppose I’ll have to think about how to broach this further.
