However, I personally find the cover distasteful, even though it is obviously meant to be in jest.
I think it is better to avoid any hint of the trappings of religion or Eliezer as the great prophet.
I have personally encountered people who are sympathetic to Eliezer’s ideas but are wary because of the pattern-matching going on that makes them think “potentially dangerous cult leader”. The cover doesn’t help that problem; in fact, it perpetuates it—whatever the content of the document.
As we know from presidential politics, impressions matter, even or maybe especially when they are superficial.
Thank you. I find this valuable.
