The temptation to write rationality posts entirely out of links to other rationality posts is real.
There’s also a good reason for it! There are multiple ways for the relationship between words <=> minds <=> reality to wind up completely fucked, and the trick to avoid that is to take time to reground the symbols before you use them for anything important. You don’t want to interrupt yourself that all the time doing that, so making the symbol itself point to an optional expansion on the composition & evidence base going into the symbol is pretty good!
