Calling all Lurkers: Share your Dreams of Effortposting

It’s been pointed out recently that the topics discussed in the Culture War thread have gotten a bit repetitive. While I do think the Motte has a good spread on intellectual discussion, I’m always pushing for a wider range (dare I say diversity?) of viewpoints and topics in the CW thread.

I was a lurker for years, and I know that the barrier between having a thought and writing a top level comment in the CW thread can loom large indeed. Luckily I’m fresh out of inspiration, and would love to hear thoughts from folks about effortposts they want to write but haven’t gotten around to.

This of course applies to regulars who post frequently as well - share any and all topics you wish were discussed in the CW thread!

I have a lot of stuff that I've been intending to write about but have had so much work and family life etc. going that I haven't really gotten to them. I have had an effortpost about the Orthodox church and Ukraine situation lying around for ages, simply because after writing it, I'm not sure if I agree with it. I have also had a bunch of ideas about the conspiracy theory and its role in society, but this still needs a bit of formation.

I've also been intending to write a series of blogposts on the Covid situation in Finland, but again, that would require a bit of organizing. I have a bunch of themes lying around about AI, but I'm probably going to write about them in Finnish (since a lof of it wouldn't be that fresh in the context of this forum, for instance, but would be fresh when it comes to general AI-related public discussion in Finland, which is miles behind where it should be.)

If someone is interested in some aspect of Finnish society, feel free to suggest.

Would be very interested in the Orthodox Church/Ukraine Situation
