@kissane What a superb article!
Do you have any writing on “… the idea of organizing people into interest-based instances, which I think is fundamentally flawed …”? Because this resonates with me as a person of multiple interests. I REALLY struggled with choosing an instance (nearly moved, but am now happy).
A minor curiosity as well is why you choose to keep your headings as all lowercase. What is your reasoning behind that stylistic choice?
