I linked this to an IRC channel full of people skeptical of SI. One person commented that
and another that
Which was somewhat my reaction as well - I can't put a finger on it and say exactly what it is that's wrong, but somehow it feels like this post isn't "meaty" enough to elicit much of a reaction, positive or negative. Which on the other feels odd, since e.g. the "SI's mission assumes a scenario that is far less conjunctive than it initially appears" heading makes an important point that SI hasn't really communicated well in the past. Maybe it just got buried under the other stuff, or something.
I found the "less conjunctive" section very persuasive, suspect Kaj may be right about it getting burried.
