Very constructive proposal Kaj. But...
If Eliezer does not find it a worthwhile investment of his time - why should we?
In general: Because my time can be used to do other things which your time cannot be used to do; we are not fungible.
(As of this comment being typed, I'm working on a rationality book. This is not something that anyone else can do for me.)
This statement is based on three assumptions: 1) What you are doing instead is in fact more worthy of your attention than your contribution here 2) I could not do what you are doing as least as well as you 3) I do not have other things to do that are at least as worthy of my time
None of those three I am personally willing to grant at this point. But surely that is not the case for all the others around here.
1) You can summarize arguments voiced by EY.
2) You cannot write a book that will be published under EY's name.
