On meta: I’d say the main reason I want some middle east content on lesswrong is that there seem to be lots of relatively more concrete facts about the world that are fundamental to models that I don’t know, and also I don’t know what those facts even are. I cannot even tell you much that is different between, say, Iraq and Iran, or Saudi Arabia, except that probably 2 out of 3 of those are allied against the third?
