This is a critical topic, but LessWrong hates it. Matthew 7:6 comes to mind.
For the record, I dispute your causal model of the audience’s response.
In particular, I dispute your model of the audience’s moral reasoning as to what is inevitably being approved of or disapproved of by expressions of approval or disapproval of your actions relating to the post.
I also dispute your model of the audience’s factual and moral reasoning about the gravity of the problem you suggest. I dispute specifically your model of the audience’s process of choosing to suppose that non-exponential weighting functions could be considered sufficiently indicative of potential solutions as to justify relative unconcern. (This is because I dispute your model of the utility function structures initially familiar to the audience. As part of this, I dispute your model of their descriptions of discounting functions, according to which it apparently would be impossible for them to intend to refer to a function which was to be applied on a prespecified absolute timescale, without being translated to start at an agent’s present time. If that was not your model, then I dispute your confusing apparent claim that such functions, if non-exponential, must be dynamically inconsistent.)
I am concerned that the errors in your model of the audience, if left unchallenged, will only serve to reinforce in you the apparent resentful, passive-aggressive self-righteousness which would have largely been itself the cause of the misinterpretations which led to those errors originally. This self-reinforcing effect might create needless mutual epistemic alienation.
