I don’t enjoy responses that are 3x as long as the message I wrote.
I don’t know how to respond to this.
So I think another issues is that you don’t really make clear what your policy proposal is.
It’s clearly laid out in a list at the end of 8 points in the conclusion. I am not advocating for awful stuff, nor illegal stuff, nor coercive stuff. I don’t want to trial it there—but I want the developing world to have access to this technology so couples can voluntarily use it.
Are you deliberately framing your ideas in a way that they can be misinterpreted?
No. I think people are either not reading it or being deliberately dishonest and I don’t think it’s because of the title.
Well I have spend like an hour on your post and only just found the policy proposals. Why not put them at the top? Or with a heading?
Also I don’t really see what your policies have to do with ending poverty—seems like if successful these would be taken up in the west and then there would still be huge amounts of poverty.
I agree that many people will downvote your piece without reading it (though many will upvote for the same reason, and it seems there is some of both going on here) but I really did try and read it and it was soooooo long and very unclear. Maybe my thoughts don’t matter to you, but if you want my advice, clear writing involves the audience taking away what you intended from the piece. I don’t think you’ve succeed with me, despite my spending 30 − 60 minutes on it.
