Originally published in 2019 — modernized for your edification. Why this one from all the other dreck? Robin Hanson read it and said, "Another thoughtful post: good job." Suck on that haters!
Loved it. 2 nitpicky editing comments, 1) wasn't clear to me when starting IV why we were addressing Hanson's points or where those came from, 2) sentence after this has 3 spaces before the next one "People always offer up reasonable debate as a potential solution to this problem."

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the pointers. I'll probably leave it as is, but if I get a minute maybe I'll fix them.
