I’m small-downvoting your post for starting it by saying it’s going to be downvoted to oblivion, without reading its content. That’s an internet faux pas. If you remove that line I’ll change my vote.
It’s not as strong as in the first paragraph, but:
Some of them due to the fact that in this specific group believing in doom and having short timelines is well regarded and considered a sign of intelligence. For example, many people are taking pride at “being able to make a ton of correct inferences” before whatever they predict is proven true. This is worrying.
This is a derogatory attribution of epistemically bad motives of self-regard and status to your audience. It reads to me as if you are creating a frame for being able to say afterwards, “well of course it got downvoted, these people are too full of themselves!”
I see, thank you for pointing that out. I will leave it like it is because I am actively maintaining that part of the audience has a position for bad epistemic reasons (not saying everyone) and I am criticizing that explicitly
In any case I won’t say “well of course it got downvoted”. I am having a way more positive response to what I thought

Ok, I am removing that intro. I am in fact surprised that I even got some upvotes
Your second paragraph has the same fault.
Where? It is an honest question, I don’t know what are you pointing at

Thank you for letting me know. I think it will stay like this for now but I might change my mind later. I appreciate the comment in any case
