To be clear I strong downvoted your comment for the reasons I posted. I think my main disagreement with Hanania’s post is that it aims to be persuasive rather than explanatory in a way that I think are the hallmarks of politics being a mind-killer. I also downvote tribalist “wokism” posts for the same reason.
I also think anti-wokism is detrimental to object level goals with regards to alignment as we’ve currently seen the discourse be eaten alive in a miasma of “alignment is just about censorship” and “EAs are right wing and appropriated the work of bias people and called it AI Safety”.
I do empathise your comment came from a place of frustration but I don’t think it’s a productive one nonetheless.
