[TODO (left in intentionally because I don’t have time to fill in these details): Put more motivation / justification here: Bowling Alone stats, stats about religion making people happier, some reference about religion making people believe untrue things. Friendships formed by repeated random bumping into people, thus regular events important]
The fuck is this? Why are you publishing an article if you don’t have the time to write an article, asshole? Who’s enforcing a deadline for posting this drivel on less wrong dot com?
If these things are so superfluous they can be dropped from the article, drop them. At least take the few minutes to rewrite that into something like “I haven’t had the time to look deeper into XYZ, maybe someone taking this more seriously should actually do that.”

Bowling Alone stats: slightly higher scores than bowling with other people stats.
In (slight) defense of author, they do state it’s been languishing in draft form for a long time and they finally decided to post it.
