Fantastic post.

To push this thread in one particular direction within this parent post, let us consider interestingness as it relates to LWers.

Given that saying that which everyone agrees with (astrology is bullshit for the secular masses, something more sophisticated among LW but particular agreeable here) is likely to solicit karma, and something more cutting edge is likely to solicit both upvotes and downvotes, I suspect a karma score closest to zero among those who already have your high regard due to the content of their posts are those you want to keep an eye on if you want to learn and upgrade your paradigms and have been here for a while already.

Even when everybody on LW agrees that astrology is bullshit, I would expect that a post to the open thread or to the rationality quotes thread that has that has it's only content would be downvoted.
