@slatestarcodex (1) Afford yourself a higher failure rate. (2) Lower your exposure to failure by decreasing the size of your argument. -
@slatestarcodex (3) Take one concrete example and draw strong links to object-level, then imply the others are left as exercise to reader. -
@slatestarcodex Er, I mean "links to abstract-level argument". You should increase the chance they play game of your own choosing: -
@slatestarcodex expanding your concrete examples, not criticising them. Need to game them into competing on this by lowering the fruit. -
@slatestarcodex Perhaps this is what the activist understands - commentators search for signalling opportunities. Control their opportunity.
