BTW, Scott of slatestarcodex has updated his post with an “on fourth thought” (in addition to his excellent theory on the dynamic motivating disagreement) that states he’s moving away from concern (though not necessarily all the way to “unconcerned”). I’m hoping you would’ve posted this yourself—having sort of implicitly committed to using Scott’s opinion as an advisory authority—if I hadn’t done so myself first. Not just trusting him when he’s on your side, and so forth.
I’m encouraged by this both because they seem like good ideas and because they sound like he’s thought this through more fully than I originally thought.
Also, if we are going to keep bringing in questionable outside blogging as source material, there’s this, which I feel fairly treated by and comes from an author with actual relevant life experience.
