I was unsure about it, the criteria for frontpage are “Timeless” (which I agree this qualifies as) and “not inside baseball-y” (often with vaguely political undertones), which seemed less obvious. My decision at the the time was “strong upvote but personal blog”, but I think it’s not obvious and if another LW mod. I agree it’s a bunch of good information to have in one place.
I see it is now on the frontpage. Just want to share my appreciation for how you’ve handled this. Also if you had kept it on the personal blog, I would have still appreciated the openness about your decision.
(Another mod leaned in the other direction, and I do think there’s like, this is is pretty factual and timeless, and Dario is more of a public figure than an inside-baseball lesswrong community member, so, seemed okay to err in the other direction. But still flagging it as an edge case for people trying to intuit the rules)

Thanks for sharing openly. I want to respect your choice here as moderator.
Given that you think this was not obvious, could you maybe take another moment to consider?
This seems a topic that is actually important to discuss. I have tried to focus as much as possible on arguing based on background information.
