I may have figured out what to do with the "Challenges" coda

Maybe the coda that I didn't want to be part of the main post (because
it was too aggressive, and the Whole Dumb Story kept leaking out into
it) can just be a long comment on the Less Wrong linkpost version.

Then it can be optimized as an explanation why my robot cultists
should care—the main post attacks Yudkowsky's performance, but the
comment can tone the aggression down a bit (needs much editing from
current draft!) while explaining why I think it is a performance—the
explanation of bad faith and the nearest-unblocked strategy game is
something I think they need to hear, and explaining the game here
feels less like spoiling the separate Whole Dumb Story post.

Deconstructing the "Aristotelian binary" snark is better scoped to the
Whole Dumb Story (as explaining why I flipped out in December 2018,
whereas "Challenges" is just addressing the February 2021 post, and
the postscript is just addressing Kolmogorov disclaimer.
