Why?
One friend of mine said that it was confusing not just because he didn’t know why it was relevant, but because the word “Waterline” has no strong positive connotations.
If the goal is to promote rationality, it seems counterproductive to have an offputting name...
“Waterline” isn’t off-putting, just opaque. So are things like “Oxfam”.
Waterline makes me think of Landmark, seasteading, and Bond villains trying to drown the planet.
Don’t forget Sea Org!
.
Waterline makes me think of The Watchtower, Wedge Strategy, and Blackwater USA.
I dislike opacity, myself. Also, I find “Oxfam” transparent.
I expect it to be slightly off-putting. I could be wrong.
