Hey bro, your dark-factor idea (as you currently sell it) is mid-D :)

I mean there's as much reception by HN (high-D?) as of that high-agency splog we deride :)

("Schplog"?)

To be clear, it's exciting to me, though I can guess at why people don't buy it, beyond the fact that HN voters are wary of narcissistic idea pushers. Tetrad is missing the personality!!

Fwiw, I have been selling some mid-D ideas of my own (check my comments)

These are normally things that I personally find revolutionary... They would obviously require a lot more work to go viral:

Like a data-driven general theory of (health) insurance that could help tptacek go easy on the pro-institutionalism, or a honest metric of thermodynamic efficiency that is fully independent of (finite) DeltaT :)

These things are screaming for cooperation, but mid-D slop don't :)

Ideas also suffer from developmental arrest, it seems ;)
