Yeah it's hard to understand the point - like, other parents were upset because their children were exposed to mold and asbestos, but I, being enlightened, deconstructed their worries through innumerable "mental models" to demonstrate and convincingly argue that actually our children being exposed to mold and asbestos has not yet been proven to be harmful or negligent.
Even granting the argument, I wonder why just staying home from a raucous school meeting - as the vast majority of parents do - wouldn't be an easier way to "stay calm". Beyond that the author provided no actual data/evidence to support his conclusion that the "potentially harmful" leak in fact wasn't.
What's the mental model for recognizing a huckster company hocking to HN a mental model "learning community" for $150-250/year that promises to "repeatedly invite me to expand how I see and think. The level of IQ and EQ members offer is unprecedented and has me visiting daily"[1]
