I think your points are wrong. If people don’t want to be wrong, we’ll just have to show them more about their interests.
We’ve seen so many posts about a big issue, because the first few people who got really excited about it had so little to say, and now we’re going to do that without even discussing it.
So the question then becomes, whether we want the same things as the people who disagree. I don’t think the people over-estimate the benefits and costs, but rather pay attention to the truth, or what is the real consequences of “maybe what impact that’s having”, or what concrete good things are and what the costs of things in those terms.
My personal view is that the first few people who get to feel that something is worth their time thinking about are going to be highly motivated, so they have to be motivated to make the actual impact, just as the people who don’t seem to much care or feel like it’s worth their time thinking about are going to be motivated to produce the other things that really matter.
