I haven’t even started reading this fully yet but I got so excited reading the first couple sentences of parts 1-3 that I had to leave a comment (I’ve saved it to Pocket for in depth weekend reading).
This is exactly the type of content I have been looking for. I feel like often when I am talking with people outside of the LessWrong community I have “man with the hammer everything looks like a nail” syndrome. In other words, I use logical arguments that are lacking in persuasive power.
Looking forward to adding this to my mental models, thanks so much for sharing this information.
Haha thanks for your comment! Yeah, when I got the idea to write this, it was the same thought: I need there to be a reference page on the internet where I can link people to every time I pull out my specificity hammer on them.

The internet and the world is so awesome!
