If the feedback is irrelevant, you'll waste the least amount of time by not giving it at all. (I think that's slightly different from your scenario though, where you don't actually know if it's irrelevant.)

The X crowd just swept the entire US federal government in the elections. I think it's going to stay pretty culturally significant. Also this smugness is why I dislike most discourse on X/Twitter and Bluesky. They're variat

So what? Even if it isn't some well-reasoned whitepaper, there's nothing wrong with venting a little. It's possible (desirable, even) to be sympathetic towards people who haven't written a thesis defending themselves. Of

Requiring a huge time investment like that will filter out a lot of the non-desperate folks…probably exactly the folks they don’t want to filter out! Also do they really want to set the tone that “I expect you to intuit what I want and I wo

There's a good chance you're right, but I think there's also a chance that things could get worse at some point (with some hand-wavy definition of "a while"). Currently the state-of-the-art is propped up with specul

The hard part is not doing it, it's getting people to agree. I highly doubt people will agree to do that, because a large portion of people don't agree with "our village is now Earth".

I'd maybe agree, not sure. I'm mostly interested in figuring out what the "activist demands" are, specifically. On the surface using these common definitions, they seem a bit extreme.

Well the second paragraph of the article lays out what the author thinks the "good reasons" are. I don't even know if I agree or disagree with those as "good reasons". But also, we obviously don't all agree on
