Man I find myself curious about whoever medium-downvoted “The Death of Behavioral Economics”. This seems like it throws a wrench in some of the original underpinnings of LessWrong. I get not thinking it was all that important, but surprised someone would vote strongly against it.
Presumably they agreed with Scott’s criticisms of it, and thought they were severe enough problems to make it not Review-worthy?
I didn’t get around to (?re-)reading & voting on it, but I might’ve wound up downvoting if I did. It does hit a pet peeve of mine, where people act as if ‘bad discourse is okay if it’s from a critic’.
