I think sequences are good and will get much better once the sequence thingy is up and running. I think most of their value doesn’t become apparent until further in the future, when someone stumbles upon one of the posts and now knows that there are a bunch of other related posts they could read.
I think I’m more excited to see what you do with repeating than with exploring.
I haven’t seen the rationalist uncanny valley be a big problem in practice. To the extent that it is, I have several possible mechanisms in mind, but I’m not sure which kinds of cases you’re thinking about. Maybe the worst thing I personally did was tell a friend of mine a bunch of un-PC thoughts I’d been having about feminism, with the result being that she stopped talking to me for several months.
My story about what happened is more that I was saying things that were very triggering to my friend and that I wasn’t modeling that in sufficient detail; she even said something like “I’m happy that you’re trying to think through this and come to your own conclusions, but you just can’t do it around me.” So I stopped.

I had something similar happen to me (with a different but equally inflammatory topic).
I didn’t say anything I don’t believe, but I think I could have said it in a more diplimatic way.
Is that the case with you too?
