Zu- series of popup projects

That hyphen looks out of place.

There are a bunch of things that start with Zu, such as ZuBerlin, ZuThailand, etc. I suppose that too could've been explained clearer

  Dirk Meulenbelt commented on criticism #708.

The Honduran Supreme Court still needs to publish an explanatory addendum on the passed law to explain how (existing) ZEDEs will be dealt with after this ruling.

Passive voice hides accountability. Who will deal with ZEDEs? Use active voice accordingly.

Agreed

  Dirk Meulenbelt commented on criticism #707.

Prospects for Próspera and other ZEDEs look dire and in a recent post […]

The alliteration threw me off a bit here. And if they’re dire they’re not really prospects. ‘Outlook’ might work better here.

Agreed

‘lower taxes and lighter regulations’ (I don’t think taxes can be ‘light’)

Gotcha

  Dirk Meulenbelt commented on criticism #701.

Related to #700:

ZEDEs are SEZs in Honduras.

What are SEZs?

#701​·​Dennis HackethalOP, over 1 year ago

I suppose that too warrants an explanation.

  Dirk Meulenbelt commented on criticism #712.

Not a lawyer but reproducing the entire letter from Próspera ZEDE is presumably a violation of their copyright.

#712​·​Dennis HackethalOP revised over 1 year ago

I didn't know that. I figured linking to the tweet that posted it would be fine.

  Dirk Meulenbelt commented on idea #700.

I now see that the newsletter links to an explanation further down:

ZEDEs are SEZs in Honduras.

But that’s too late. May have already lost readers at that point.

How could I explain a term in the headline?

  Dennis Hackethal revised criticism #711.

We will update you on news, events, and do longer form write-ups […]

‘longer-form’

[…] on the projects discussed in the talks, […]

You mentioned the talks in the previous sentence. Remove “discussed in the talks” and instead say ‘discussed projects’ or ‘projects that were discussed’.

as we now have many more news sources we didn’t yet know about.

Don’t explain yourself to your readers. Remove this part.

In the coming period, expect us to pick up on many of the talks’ subject matter.

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #698.

Honduran Supreme Court declares ZEDEs unconstitutional, putting Próspera and other ZEDEs in jeopardy.

Not everyone knows what a “ZEDE” is. Is it an acronym? What does it stand for?

  Dennis Hackethal started a discussion titled ‘Criticisms of ‘Based Brief’’.

One of the people running ‘Based Brief’ has requested criticism, specifically of their latest newsletter titled ‘Honduras rugpulls Próspera and other ZEDEs’. These criticisms aren’t meant to be exhaustive.

The discussion starts with idea #698.

  Dennis Hackethal revised criticism #670. The revision addresses idea #695.

Your subconscious is like a computer […]

She says “like” so the sentence is technically correct, but it would have been more correct if she had said the subconscious is a program (or an amalgamation of programs). What she’s presumably getting at here is that the subconscious is automatic like a computer and unlike the conscious, which can stop and reflect and criticize and so on.
