While I am all for anonymous voting, I am confused by −44. Feels like this is a reasonable take that many people disagree with, rather than an unacceptable/timewasting one that should be nuked into the ground.
I’ve noticed that every time I post something critical of coddling culture or runaway safetyism or the way that woke politics is undermining EA culture, I get seriously downvoted. I don’t get downvoted like that when I post about AI safety, parenting as an EA, teaching EA classes, or any other topic.
So I suspect there are a lot of political biases at work here.

I don’t see it as a reasonable take. I see it as a dangerous one.
What exactly is ‘dangerous’ about expressing concern that Rockwell’s post comes across as sex-negative, drug-negative, and cohousing-negative?
Is open discussion of a community’s social norms ‘dangerous’?
Nathan—thanks for your support here.

Yeah, I feel something like this, though I like that people feel happy to express it.
I guess I want to try and pull it out and actually have the discussion.
