Incentivized to improve thinking instead of mindless slop posted for likes and attention
Discussion
Sounds like either you're dumb (but I'm pretty sure you're not) or you haven't seen the type of shit that gets zapped (but I'm pretty sure you have)
Mindless slop is mindless slop; I am confident that whether it's posted for likes or posted for zaps makes no difference to either of us.
No matter how much confidence you have in people, the fact is that people disagree with eachother, and there is no objective way for someone who is missing knowledge or perspective to judge the quality of another person's post except through their own knowledge and perspective.
When it comes to truly improving one's thinking, all filters and incentives are wrong in the long run. Anything beyond just putting two people together makes things worse. Do you want to challenge my claims with any specific scenarios?
