I rephrased it to provide a hint about the paper’s content, making it easier for others to locate and read the original work. I am very familiar with the paper and have studied it to some extent. I didn’t want to share ‘what I think,’ hoping smarter people can make more out of it by reading the whole thing, as I am not active here and don’t care about upvotes. However, I was uncertain about the legality of sharing the entire paper or any excerpts/data since I don’t hold the rights to it.
I find the reaction quite disappointing because the paper addresses very relevant ‘real-life’ versions of the points mentioned here through fiction and encourages a broader understanding of the history of poverty beyond Western perspectives, as we do here. I was curious if anyone here has actually read it; discussing poverty without examining its underlying principles and issues in the historical data, as the paper does, seems contradictory for this community.
Instead of engaging with the paper, my gpt-rephrasing to provide context was met with heavy downvotes, dismissal and ‘hidden comment’. I’m curious about the rationale behind this approach. Wouldn’t it be more valuable to keep the comment open and ensure that this important research remains accessible, even if it includes a rephrasing?
By downvoting and hiding my comment, the community risks overlooking significant insights that could contribute to our understanding of poverty. Isn’t it more beneficial to prioritize the research and promote such relevant work?
