BTW, I wish I had clarified: I’m not talking about any of the detailed critiques that people have made, e.g. any of the critiques mentioned here: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/RPgHythvMKh6eG9pS/our-response-to-seb-krier-on-plan-a This was more inspired by a lot of quick comments I’ve seen that seem to dismiss Plan A at a high level without really engaging with the details much at all. I’ve seen these in lots of places but I don’t feel comfortable linking to them because they’re in a sort of conversational context and it seems norm-breaking to single out individual people for just writing a few sentences.
