I agree it’s important to be more specific than I currently have. I don’t plan on rehashing things I have already said (broadly: that collection of cultural norms you advocate for are still among the biggest reasons that many high karma and/or professional users feel less motivated to comment on LessWrong, that the overall culture you’re advocating for is a big part of what killed LessWrong the first time around. This is not a claim about any particular point raised on this thread, but a general point about my expectations about the guiding principles you’re point at)
Things seem worth saying since I haven’t said them yet, which I plan to at some point:
Some specifics on how I think bout the issues raised in the old Yvain post (I definitely agree you should not reward utility monstering, but disagree with some of your framing of it)
In general, my best guesses on how to achieve the goal of “ensure that LessWrong is a place that generates valuable intellectual progress that people can rely on and build on”, which includes many subgoals, many of them at odds.

(Reminder that I am not endorsing anything Said has been arguing against in this thread either)
