A hidden question of mine is actually how to present them here—copypaste into this space to do a dual post, or merely post links and brief summaries.
It also appears that my bloggery will dither a bit away from what is likely the most interesting to this audience (Fermi paradox and ‘where are they’ and the likely shape of the future of humanity) on occasion into things like basic origin of life theories, geochemistry, what I think SETI should actually be doing compared to what they are doing now, and one or two case studies of one-off radio signals that have never been confirmed. There is definitely a cohesive multiple-part initial burst incoming which I will probably link to in its entirety, but this leaves me wondering how much to link to/reproduce.

These topics haven’t been discussed here much and may actually be more interesting for that reason, whereas general Fermi paradox and future civ models have come up recently.
I don’t know how it is for others, but personally, I am much more likely to read a full text if it’s posted here directly, than if there’s just a link.

You could do what I do: copypaste, and then six months later after all the discussion is done, delete the LW copy and replace it with a link & summary. Best of both worlds, IMO.
