I’ve promoted this to Featured because it’s a great piece of writing, and also because this book seems to be about some of the fundamental epistemological disagreements in our broad communities. I really hope this is the place we can communicate clearly and successfully together on these topics.
What are the grounds for relying on individual judgment to promote posts to Featured? Isn’t it more reasonable to rely on community opinion, as expressed in the epistocratic karma system?
(I’m aware that this is a tangent, but the point seemed germane given that the reasoning behind this decision may itself reflect the “fundamental epistemological disagreements” which you refer to.)
