The 5 posts GPT-4 thinks you should write and why they'd be intriguing:
Telling Privilege from “Privilege”: This topic is intriguing as it can explore the nuances between actual privilege and perceived privilege, offering an opportunity to better understand the societal implications of different types of privileges.
Social Media and the Comics Code: Comparing the impact of social media on society to the historical influence of the Comics Code is an interesting angle, as it can reveal insights into how different forms of media have shaped cultural norms and values over time.
The Value of Decongestion: Addressing the economic, social, and environmental implications of urban decongestion can offer valuable insights into the importance of urban planning and its long-term effects on society.
Consequentialism For Me, Deontology for Thee: The contrast between these two ethical theories and how they are applied in different contexts can provide a thought-provoking discussion on morality, decision-making, and the underlying principles that guide our actions.
The World Is Unrecognizable: This topic can be a fascinating exploration of how globalization, technological advancements, and changing cultural norms have reshaped society in ways that might not have been imagined in the past.
Would be interesting to hear what you have to say on “The Libertarian Crisis” and “Deregulation is Regulation”. I also second the above comment on writing a piece about homeschooling with all its pros and cons.
Would love to see "Government Spending: A Litany of Waste." I'd like a "go to" post for when people argue that increasing budgets and increasing spending will solve the problem.
Pretty sure I read "If the Welfare State Is So Small, Can We Just Get Rid of It?" + "No One Cared About My Spreadsheets". And there are quite a few close enogh to posts you wrote (lockdowns et al.).
Mormons? Siam? Cool! - As a devoted disciple of SSC/ACX I shall vote for: "Scott Alexander and Monty Python" - though I am afraid I won't laugh. Make that: "because I am afraid".
Awesome. I’d love to read any of them, though some titles are pretty opaque.
The ones responding to Scott Alexander *sound* especially interesting, since you’re my two favorite writers and I’ve read virtually everything you two have ever written.
I’d also love to see an extension of your insight that the government rarely enforces laws on private individuals. I *think* at least one of these is getting at the phenomenon we saw most starkly during Covid: Lockdowns laws affected behavior not because the government arrested people leaving their houses but because businesses were scared of losing their licenses. Same reason you can shoplift from a Walgreens in San Francisco without fear, but the security guard can’t stop you without fear.
@Bryan, I’d love to hear more about how you homeschooled and how it’s going so far. There were a couple titles along those lines
I’d love to hear what systemic Judaism is about. And a homeschooling update!
You gotta know you're begging for GPT-4 output here
With a list like this and GPT who needs creativity?

"Teaching Foreign Language Teaching" - that happens to be my qualification. Obviously, I am aware of your strict position "only Spanish in the Spanish course" - and that is NOT wrong, one could do much worse and many schools do. Much worse. Still, I agree with Butzkamm here (not Berlitz): "Enlightened monolingualism" is what I do. Abstract in English (article is mainly the commented example of an English-lesson) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/355928457_Die_kompliziertere_Losung_ist_die_richtige_Aufgeklarte_Einsprachigkeit_Ruckblick_und_Ausblick_It_is_more_complicated_Enlightened_monolingualism_-_review_and_outlook
I already linked to his post on spreadsheets, and you're right about the other one:

I'd be excited to read:
- Consequentialism For Me, Deontology for Thee
- Rothbard on Immigration
- Alexander and Labor
- The cargo cult of price
- I’ll Take My Chances
One vote here for Arbitrage is Overrated. Really curious how the basis for pricing financial instruments is overrated!
Interested in following:

fem of ed
mormonism
cooperative civil disobedience
what its like to be a political atheist
I want to see "How Affirmative Action Ends Test Bias".
Not all those are actually "unwritten":

I'd be interested in reading The Top Two Cop-Outs of Moral Philosophy and Moral Nihilism: A Socratic Dialogue.
Matt Yglesias, Market Fundamentalist? The Case of Organic Food
I'm curious about that one, as I think organic food is sort of a scam
While I would love to read most of these posts, the top of three based on the titles would be :
1. Arbitrage is Overrated
2. The Non-Central Fallacy Fallacy
3. Supply, Demand, and the Cargo Cult of Price
Bonus : Scott Alexander and Monty Python
