To be clear, my more controversial speculation does not go up to scanning the user’s brain to confirm their ingestion, digestion, and careful consideration of the post’s content[1] before allowing them to cast votes.
It does seem important that people be able to sometimes express ‘I would like more people to see this (kind of thing) after my superficial read but I don’t have time to digest in detail now’, but it might be a good thing if this were necessarily at least a tiny bit deliberate.
(if only because I don’t know how to implement this and if I did, I find it hard to imagine a world where the most pressing use of this technology was optimising LessWrong karma UI—but well, maybe)
