1. I feel that writing about the topic will make me stupider.
2. I believe that you reading more about the topic will make you stupider.
3. I believe that performative outrage usually brings low or negative returns. Matt Yglesias has had some good writing on this lately.
4. I don’t have anything to add on the topic. Abortion and the Middle East would be two examples here.
5. Sometimes I have good inside information on a topic, but I cannot reveal it, not even without attribution. And I don’t want to write something stupider than my best understanding of the topic.
6,. I just don’t feel like it.
7. On a few topics I feel it is Alex’s province.
