I’ve noted in at least some of your posts that I don’t find your abstractions very compelling without examples, and I that I don’t much care for the examples I can think of to reify your abstractions.

“Where to Draw the Boundaries?” includes examples about dolphins, geographic and political maps, poison, heaps of sand, and job titles. In the comment section, I gave more examples about Scott Alexander’s critique of neoreactionary authors, Müllerian mimickry in snakes, chronic fatigue syndrome, and accent recognition.
