No, but that’s not the people who are being aimed at here. Having a new word comes across as weird to people who haven’t heard of an idea before. And if you tell them that an idea is no new and is so much just one’s person that they are using a name so they can keep track of who else is talking about (which incidentally also can potentially come across as egotistical or overly sensitive).
Personally, I think it’s great, and not at all weird, that I can subscribe to a google alert for “futarchy” and not have to worry about being swamped with irrelevant results.
It’s pretty important that important concepts have unique “tags”. Otherwise you run into problems. For example...
The concept of “exit” is fundamentally important. But good luck trying to search for relevant pages just using that word. You’d have to do a bit of scrolling before you’d find any pages dedicated to the concept as its used here… Exit, Voice, and Loyalty
In my opinion, it would be a really good idea if somebody gave this concept a unique name. This would help people learn about its relevance.
It may help to keep in mind that the “Google alert standard” while probably personally satisfying, is more likely to signal weirdness.
It’s weird to want to keep up-to-date on topics that interest you? Uh, I take it you don’t subscribe to any google alerts?
