Downvoted, because even though I think this is reasonable point worth considering, I’m not excited about a LessWrong dominated by snarky memes, that make points, instead of essays.
I started an essay version, but decided the meme version was concise without much loss of detail. I see your point though. I’ll go ahead and remove my upvote of this and post the essay instead.
It seems like I maybe would have gotten the same value from the essay (which would have taken 5 minutes to read?) as from this image (which maybe took 5 seconds).
But I don’t want to create a culture that rewards snark, even more than it already does. It seems like that is the death of discourse, in a bunch of communities.
So I’m interested in if there are ways to get the benefits here, without the costs.

I do appreciate the conciseness a lot.

What about essay first, the image at the bottom?
Agreed.
