This reads as a rewrite of (some parts of?) the punch bug post (which I didn’t like at the time) with several years’ more wisdom. I really appreciate the careful precise delineation of the exact things you do and don’t mean; I think this works very well here.
To be clear, I think I have zero percent shifted my sense of, like, what’s good and healthy, or what society is doing to people, or what the tradeoffs are, or whatever, since punch bug. I haven’t updated any of the underlying models (e.g. I reread punch bug and don’t think any of the sections are wrong). To the extent that you’re seeing added wisdom, I would guess it’s mostly in being more skilled at not running afoul of people’s triggers.
