New sequence idea: bridging humanities lingo to the aspiring-rationalist community.
Observation: many of our current humanities lingo (e.g. that of critical theory, postmodernism, contemporary feminism) get underrepresented or misrepresented in the lesswrong community. To verify: do a search of the terms above and see.
Observation: some people (such as philosophers on r/askphilosophy) outside of the lesswrong community view this place in a bad light because they thought we aren’t taking the previous debates in philosophy on the same problems seriously.
Common knowledge: more (and more diverse) discussion almost always leads to better models of reality.
Common heuristic: use of different languages with different context shape how we view the same topic.
Hypothesis: A metaphorical bridge that connects the humanities language (and context) to that of us can help us make sense of a lot of points and discourse (often implicit, as a characterization of humanities subjects).
Respectfully disagree: I don’t think enforcing something like this help towards facilitating personal blogposts on lesswrong. I think a better alternative is to create some formal styling guide and implement a formatter that strips emojis etc from the title string when posts are promoted to frontpage (or even in the “recent posts” list if you guys want that); otherwise I don’t think limiting editorial choices by the author helps the case of building community blogs.
