I think that would be great! I sent you a DM on Discord.

I actually tried this on an unrelated topic earlier, but didn't get a response. (Which has been my general experience—little-to-no interest whenever I send people cold emails, apart from academics.)

Neat; would he maybe be interested in discussing social choice on his channel? I'm on the Summer of Math Exposition Discord with the name @statslime

I somehow doubt anyone is going to read this and immediately slather a mixture of every retinoid known to man directly to their face (including many which are only available by prescription). If they did, I honestly wouldn't blame this post. They're going to either go to a doctor to find out more about prescription treatments, or Google "retinoid cream" and find some over-the-counter retinol that's safe and has no substantial side effects for most people. This is a perfectly OK introductory post.

The amount of time and effort you can invest into them is on a continuous scale. The more time you invest, the more impact you'll have. However, what I can say is if you invest any time at all into advocacy, writing, or trying to communicate ideas to others, you should be doing that on Wikipedia instead. It's like a blog where you can get 1,000s of views a day if you pick a popular article to work on.

The highly active form of vitamin A is isotretinoin, which you can take orally. It has substantial side effects though, meaning it's generally only used for severe (cystic) acne.

If you want to think of it as a kind of deficiency you can, but then only your skin is deficient in vitamin A (not the rest of your body).

Y'know, I meant Wikipedia, but Arrow's impossibility theorem kinda works too

Oh, same goes for if anyone knows a (preferably investigative) journalist interested in breaking a related story—I happen to have a scandal on hand related to this subject.
