Yes, I'm sure I've alluded to the fact that some of our conventional wisdoms have become so utterly detached from msm cw that for newcomers there doesn't seem to be a clear path to understand how they go from a to b.

Well, technically given that we seem to have a rather better record of tracking reality than they do, it's probably more accurate to say that it must be a culture shock for them to realise there's intelligent life outside of the bubble.

There's probably no quick answer. We can't put up summary papers, because they'll be at least as long as diaries stories are.

Some gentle marketing of the 'we called it ahead of time - now read on' kind might help. Perhaps.

There's still question as to the path from a to b, ET's accumulated wisdom notwithstanding.

Yeah, I think you're onto something here.

The problem is, we can't even begin to gauge this until someone new comes in with the self-confidence to put up diary saying, "I don't get (a), (b), (c)..."

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman
