The first point is a good question. The goal is personal: feeling out whether such thoughts find a place in the LW space, and if so, engaging with this community more :). Altenately, it’s a reflection/”blog post”, whose partial intention is to throw some thoughts out there and hear alternative perspectives that may cause me to update.
The second point: yeah, that’s a great point and sadly I don’t know how to elaborate effectively. I’ll think on it and update this comment if that changes. Thanks for the point on body language—that’s a good one.
As for discussions, I once had a fairly long 3-hour one with some pillars of the community on this, which didn’t feel like it resolved anything. It was nice that the discussion happened at all, though.
