ACX Survey Results 2025

Announces the 2025 ACX reader survey (5,975 respondents) with links to the questions/results/public dataset, plus highlighted findings: Trump favorability up among readers (4.3%->7.4%), Long COVID trends (the steady-state hypothesis), strong preference for older architecture, the ACX voting-guide's real impact (~500 votes changed), and a notable gap - the comment section demands 'MAXIMUM TOUGHNESS' on crime/homelessness but the silent survey-taking majority are 'big softies' (86% want no jail for a first-offense shoplifter); plus crypto-usage breakdown and vivid ayahuasca testimonials (35% reporting long-term benefit).

Quality 56 · Solid. Solid - an engaging survey-results post with genuine observations (the comment-section-vs-silent-majority finding, the ayahuasca data) and light analysis, but a results-highlights format, not an essay. Anchored to the Survey-type tier (cf. ACX-634 Rome 58).

Claude’s paradigm shift 25 · Slight. Slight - reader-survey results; no original framework (the only argued idea, the comment-section-vs-majority gap, is a brief observation).

Real-world impact 2 · Minor. Within-discourse reader-data post; the voting-guide vote-change figure is reported, not caused by this post; negligible direct material effect.
