The predictability of lists like this that include me makes me wonder whether I’m part of some Comcast-like channel bundle. Any list that includes me typically includes many of these. Wonder why. While a flattering label, I don’t think “interesting” is the common factor here.

I worried about this 😅 I suspect my list represents a very particular worldview that I don't know how to disentangle at this point. I truly was going for "interesting", but because the list is finite, availability heuristic definitely kicked in & tended toward "I agree with __"

You're right, of course. I've seen many similar lists and didn't sufficiently differentiate mine. For some reason people seem to have found some value in it 🤷‍♂️ I definitely didn't expect it to be as widely shared as it has been

Aren’t these lists primarily ideological bundles? Maybe people question *certain categories of assumptions* via exploratory paradigms and methods that signal intelligence?
