“Today’s link: [Rob Miles video]”
You might think “basically nobody’s gonna click that, and even if they do, they won’t car.”. This is partially true, but consider: I got into the ratsphere because of HPMOR. I read HPMOR because of a Reddit comment that mentioned it in reply to a comment/post about what would happen if Harry had a gun. I got to Reddit because CGP Grey made a video about it.
The people you want most are more likely to stick like glue—you just need to show them what’s out there. Before HPMOR, I remember loving CGP Grey’s read of Fable of the Dragon Tyrant. If I had clicked the description and followed the link to Nick Bostrom’s original, maybe I’d have read some of his other work.
Relatedly, he’s probably introduced millions to voting theory or gerrymandering or AI being grown and it being transformative (back a decade ago when it wasn’t in the zeitgeist). While you won’t do that by commenting, you might introduce dozens.
