I preferred the original version that appeared on your private website.
Once you sanitized it for LW by making it more abstract and pedantic, it lost many of the most biting, hilarious asides, that made it a fun and entertaining to read.
So...the poll shows +9 support for making it more biased and snarky, +9 support for making it less biased and snarky, and a tepid rejection of leaving it the way it is. Awkward.
You could always post it on your website in both versions, with an initial branching point called "Do you like snarkiness and controversial political examples, or a more philosophical tone?"
I wasn't originally serious when I started writing this comment... but now it doesn't seem like a bad idea. "Original Recipe" and "Extra Abstract", as it were.
