Isn’t “karma” just a fancy word for “how much I like this post/comment”? I mean at registration I didn’t get questions like:
(1) How much of your income have you donated to charity? [1]
(2) What is more dangerous to humanity? God’s rage, or an out-of-control AI? [2]
(3) Which of the sequences is your favorite? Name two. [3]
[1] You must enter a number above 100%
[2] AI means artificial intelligence, but you’re supposed to know that.
[3] “Favorite” means one, and it asks for two; clearly the write answer is to point out the grammatical error.
So clearly not everyone here is as rational as they should be, or at least LW-rational.
Moreover, that’s only by a per-person basis. On comments with more upvotes, it would probably be the community’s outlook on the comment/post. Same with downvotes. Just a matter of scale, really.
