Considered it when originally drafting, but nah, think we’ll just have to agree to disagree here. For what it’s worth, if you actually browse the rejected posts themselves a high enough fraction are a little awaken-y (but not obviously full crackpot) that I don’t think the title is misleading even given my aims. It is all a little fuzzy, too; like, my hope is to achieve a certain kind of nudge, but the way I decided to do that involves sharing information that is disproportionately framed around “awakening” situations for creative reasons not totally clear to me. Like, my intuition says “the post you want to write for this purpose is [X]” and I’m left to guess why. I do respect the opinion that it doesn’t really work, but I don’t currently share it.
Fair enough. If/when you get any empirical data on how well this post works, writing it up would be pretty valuable and would likely resolve any remaining disagreements we have.
