(Self Review) I stand by this post, and if the Best Of LessWrong posts are posts we want everyone in the community to have read then this seems worth the space.
Tapping out is a piece of rationalist jargon that has a definition in the LessWrong tags and has been used in the community for years, but doesn’t really have a canonical post explaining why we use it. The tag definition is a good explanation of what it means and it’s shorter, which is good. I think tapping out is a good and useful tool when having debates or discussions, and it’s one that works best if everyone involved already knows the term.
If we could nominate tags to the Best Of LessWrong posts, I’d say either the tag definition or this post would be fine additions. Since the timing works out for the post, sure, let’s go with this post.
