This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
It's full of 110 IQ misunderstood geniuses who are smart enough to signal how smart they think they are but not smart enough to actually say much that's novel or interesting, and the more a Redditor does it for free, either as a mod or as a groupthink enforcer, the larger his karma/e-peen. So it selects for midwits with nothing better to do than farm karma and play reputation games. Any subreddit about $THING with more than >100 users quickly gets swamped with these people and stops being primarily about $THING. The Iron Law strikes again.
Thanks for linking that post, it was very entertaining and perfectly encapsulates a particular type of extremely online Western male in his twenties or thirties. In the description of "second option bias" I was thinking of Scott's "intellectual hipsters and meta-contrarianism", and it's linked in one of the top comments.
