I thought people were supposed to care because you were highlighting systematic political distortions in the rationalist community?
I didn’t mention that part in my other comment because Villiam seemed confused about the inner part of the conflict whereas this seemed like the outer part of the conflict.
I mean, yes, people who care about this alleged “rationalist community” thing might be interested in information about it being biased (and I wrote this post with such readers in mind), but if someone is completely uninterested in the “rationalist community” and is only on this website because they followed a link to an article about information theory, I’d say that’s a pretty good life decision!

They might be interested in information presented in a concise, high signal way.
The way you’ve presented it practically guarantees that nearly every passing reader will not.
i.e. The average reader ‘might be interested’ only to an average degree.
