This part:
contradicts the other part:
so I'm not sure that your well-worded and well-upvoted comment even has a point I could respond to. Anyway. The politically charged discussions here have been useless to me (with one exception that sadly didn't get the follow-through it deserved), so I'll go on waiting for insight, and avoid talking when I have no insight, and encourage others to do the same.
What kind of follow-through do you think my post deserved? I'm pretty happy with the effect that it's had on the LW community myself. People do seem to be more careful about giving and taking offense after that post. So I'm curious what you have in mind.
I hoped for more of the kind of analysis you demonstrated. Of course I don't know what specific advances would happen! But I feel you were doing something methodologically right when writing that post, and the same approach could be applied to other problems.
