Could you give a reference for the Hierarchy Game? A quick google search did not turn up anything that sounded like game theory.
I think that was coined specifically for this post, and doesn’t (yet?) have a corresponding formalism. I would be interested in seeing an attempt to formalize this, but there’s enough subtlety that I’d worry about confusion arising from mismatches between the idea and the formalism.
On a separate note, this post is IMO really toeing the line in terms of what’s too political for LW.
The way we currently handle this is with the Frontpage vs Personal Blog distinction; things that meet our frontpage guidelines, we promote to frontpage, everything else we leave on Personal Blog. We chose to front-page this, but I agree that it’s borderline.
