hot take: anon people with “hot takes” are the most beta of beta energy. sharing a strong POV takes a lot more courage when there is reputational, social, and financial capital on the line — and rarely is that ever the case when one is anon.

that this is framed as alpha vs beta is a really good example of why anonymity is vital to the success of any public commons

never mentioned alpha or implied it was alpha vs beta, did i? it could be argued that the behavior that i described as requiring more courage is likely omega — driven, intelligent, and little desire to conform to alpha or beta norms. humanity is rarely black vs white, A vs B. we are a vast spectrum of variants, no?
