Hang on, has no one nominated the original Grabby aliens posts? If so, I’d push for either parts 1 and 2 of “How far are Grabby Aliens?” as they cover the model in a fair bit of detail. Or “Humans are Early” for a quick overview that drives home the basic point that humans are early. Or perhaps “Hail S. Jay Olson”, for a quick overview of both Robin and Olson’s model. I like the latter both because it describes another model, and because Hanson’s matter of fact praise of Olson is beautiful, to me.
Hmm. Given Writer’s explanation of Grabby Aliens has been nominated[1], I’d say “Humans are Early”. They feel like they’d pair well together. On reflection, Hail S. Jay Olson just doesn’t flow well enough. Which is unfortunate, but maybe someone can mention it in a review.

Can you pick one of those? I’m feeling a bit of decision paralysis.

I voted for part 2. Someone else should also vote for it, so it gets nominated too.
