We have dorms that are purely dedicated to short term paying guests. This allows us to honestly tell people that they’re always welcome. I think that’s great.
Actually I agree this is really good, I hadn’t thought enough about it before. Not sure I agree that reserving rooms for non-paying impact projects/people is good though. I think this should vary with demand of good projects.
For me, the fact that my post is currently here means something: there are people who are working on it. I want to encourage them into working on it, so I need to get a leg up on them.
My own, lesswrongish, one that I’d have a problem with. My first reaction is “of course it helps, but...”, which isn’t enough to make this post. Just because it didn’t fit my goals and my motivation is insufficient, I need to change that.
(Note: I’m not saying you should take these posts seriously or otherwise deal with them, nor am I saying you should. I’m saying “you may not like my post, but I would prefer that you take the post seriously” because the only reason I’d like to do that is so that I don’t need to.)
