I was intrigued by the links to "world government" and "reproduction licenses." They seem to be dead links, however. Are these posts available to read somewhere?
You should add a summary of that post. Linkposts get a lot more clickthroughs if they include more info about what you'll get by clicking through.
Edit: this is really good. It does start with a good summary.
The one mismatch with LessWrong is that it's written to persuade. This is the goal of most writing. LessWrong asks us to write to inform and specifically not to persuade. This practice has deep positive effects on thinking, community, and epistemics. (This is something I've thought about a lot but have yet to write about).
The essay does cover counterarguments near the end, but the tone is still one of advocacy rather than weighing arguments.
Might be worth adding your blog post's subtitle or so, to hint at what Georgism is about (assuming I'm not an exception in not having known "Georgism" is the name for the idea of shifting taxation from labor etc. to natural resources).
Worth adding imho: Feels like a most natural way to do taxation in a world with jobs automated away.
For my first post on Less Wrong, I was advised to link to an existing blog post of mine. My Georgism Crash Course has been one of my most viewed essays. It aims to explain what Georgism is, why it would boost economic efficiency, and it addresses some of the possible drawbacks of it. All comments, constructive criticism, and feedback are appreciated.
Georgism1 is the position that income tax, sales tax, property tax, and all other taxes should be abolished and replaced with taxes on natural resources (NRT) and land values, which would fund all government services. The idea is that society would greatly benefit from overhauling the taxation system. (see the rest of the post in the link)
