The post is an advertisement, without other content. I think a post of that type should only be on the site if it comes with some meat—an excerpt, at least. (And even then I’m not sure). The reader can’t even look up or read the book yet if he wanted to!
(There is a quote of the thesis of the book, but the text is stuff I’ve been rereading for years now. It feels like someone is always telling me liberalism is under threat recently.)
Thanks for the feedback. I’ve been writing it for a year already without talking about it much publicly, and wanted to put it out there so people know what I’m doing. I see it similarly to the updates people give here on their research agendas or work they intend to do. I agree that for LW (but not for twitter, for which this was originally written) it’s probably good to put more meat and give more detail about what the book will discuss. Maybe I’ll edit it in.
Edit: I added a list at the end of the post of things I plan to discuss or look into
