I'm quite pleased and encouraged to find a community here that's making good progress focusing on a similar set of problems from a compatible vantage point.

And I think I speak for everyone when I say we're glad you've started posting here! Your book was suggested as required rationalist reading. It certainly opened my eyes, and I was planning to write a review and summary so people could more quickly understand its insights.

(And not to be a suck-up, but I was actually at a group meeting the other day where the ice-breaker question was, "If you could spend a day with any living person, who would it be?" I said Gary Drescher. Sadly, no one had heard the name.)

I won't be able to contribute much to these discussions for a while, unfortunately. I don't have a firm enough grasp of Pearlean causality and need to read up more on that and Newcomb-like problems (halfway through your book's handling of it).
