1) Write shorter to be the first one.

2) Edit your answer later to include everything relevant, fix spelling errors, etc.

3) Congratulations, LW becomes StackExchange!

Okok. It was meant humorously.

But I don't think that the conclusion of your insightful comment (which really could have been a Discussion post). is inevitable.

There still is evolution going on on the organizational level. Those organizational structures which provide long time benefit i.e. are efficient and sufficiently stable should win over structures that collapse due to the iron law.

Thus lets hope that LW manages to provide benefit and be stable. I wonder whether EY which after all started out as charismatic leader (in the socioeconomic sense) has a plan to transition LW toward that. But then he probably hopes that FAI will solve these kinds of problems for us.
