This is a pretty rad doc. juanbot kept it attached in the reply, and it hit my priority inbox. The upshot is kind of, we all already agree that we need to do the right stuff. We know how it can be done. We need to actually _do_ this stuff, somehow. That might mean calling out all the ways what makes sense to do is being prevented and ignored, and casting them as unacceptable. One of them is insultbots interjecting into everything. Punk, I'm calling you "bot" because you re-use the same phrases so much that most of what you say could be easily automated nowadays. It could even be reverse-engineered to discern properties of the data you learned from.
