the analysis in scott's most recent post i think is completely wrong. should i write a post explaining why and what i think is going on instead
Conversation
yes, because I think the main thing that has slowly dragged scott down is a lack of vigorous discourse because of his now god-like status in so many spheres. you would be preforming a great public and private service.

wait i can't tell if you're being sarcastic, i assume people are constantly criticizing his ideas in his comments and on the subreddit right?
Replying to
I'm not being sarcastic. It's true about reddit—but often that doesn't actually wrestle with his ideas seriously. I don't read the comments tbh, but I feel like the culture of who comments on substack is very different than with SSC.
Getting famous raises your communication/transaction costs, reversion to mean as real cranks start to outnumber cranky geniuses in your intake bandwidth.
