You should add a summary of that post. Linkposts get a lot more clickthroughs if they include more info about what you’ll get by clicking through.
Edit: this is really good. It does start with a good summary.
The one mismatch with LessWrong is that it’s written to persuade. This is the goal of most writing. LessWrong asks us to write to inform and specifically not to persuade. This practice has deep positive effects on thinking, community, and epistemics. (This is something I’ve thought about a lot but have yet to write about).
The essay does cover counterarguments near the end, but the tone is still one of advocacy rather than weighing arguments.
