Now, how do you cross the inference gap from people who like the darkest shade into lighter shades?

I am not interested in crossing the inference gap to people who like the darkest shade. They can have it.

That's the project of raising the sanity waterline.

I don't think that raising the sanity waterline involves producting shit, even of particular colours.

You seem to have made two contradicting statements, or maybe we're miscommunicating.

1) Do you believe that raising the sanity waterline of those in the murk - those who like the dark shade because of their current circumstances and knowledge, but are capable of learning and improving - is still raising the sanity waterline?

2) If you believe it is still raising the sanity waterline, how do you raise their sanity waterline if you do not produce slightly less shitty content intentionally in order to cross the inference gap?

I don't think you can raise their sanity waterline by writing slightly lighter-shade articles on Lifehacker and such. I think you're deluding yourself.

Ok, I will agree to disagree on this one.
