Increases exposure (and over a more varied reader population) to the most important ideas.
Efficiently[4] increases collective memory of the best contributions.
We might uncover and dislodge some flawed assumptions that reached universal acceptance in the past due to information cascades.
Given recency bias combined with the fact that people are very reluctant to write things that have been written about before, we could theoretically be losing wisdom over time instead of accumulating it. Especially since the movement is growing fast, and newcomers weren’t here when a particular piece of wisdom was under discussion the first time around.
Wrote a shortform on it. Would be cool to have, imo! : )
I also made a suggestion on Sasha’s post related to nudging people’s reading habits by separating out FTX posts by default. I don’t endorse the design, but it could look something like this.[1] Alternatively, could introduce ‘tag profiles’ or something, where you can select a profile, and define your filters within each profile.[2]
(P.S. Sorry for the ceaseless suggestions, haha! Brain goes all sparkly with an idea and doesn’t shut up until I make a comment about it. ^^’)
Curated posts could resurface to the frontpage at exponentially decaying intervals.
Counteracts recency bias. Enables longer-term discussions.

Oh I really like this, and I’ve had some similar ideas. Will make a note of it!
