This is helpful pushback. You’re right that the distillation takes too much for granted. Compressing the 100k+ word framework into ~1000 words lost the load-bearing bits.
On Dalio: agreed, and I should engage his empirical work more explicitly. On the Horsemen: I think we may be agreeing more than it appears (e.g., on bureaucratic complexity being inevitable), but the post failed to show that.
I failed to calibrate entirely to the audience here, being inside my work for too long. I’ll reconsider my approach.
Regarding these AI failure modes, they emerge systematically as violations of one or more of the Four Virtues (Integrity, Fecundity, Harmony, Synergy), which are themselves derived as the optimal solutions to the Four Axiomatic Dilemmas of SORT axes. This was intended as evidence that the framework is something real and useful.
Yes, LW is a tough crowd. It was so 20 years ago and it is so today. I am not a good rep. of LW culture, but I do think no matter where you post this, that it would be useful to have an 8K summary as well.
I suspect that it is inevitable to lose load-bearing stuff and to also confuse parts of the LW audience in 1K words, but you need the hook to attract readers to the 8K summary.

Glad you found the feedback somewhat useful.
