Why is this only at five karma points? I suspect it has more to do with the desire to not give MichaelGR free karma for posting a straight-up link than a desire to keep this post off of the front page.
Why is this only at five karma points?
I consider this bloggingheads stuff mostly a waste of time. Everyone is faced with the problem of selecting what media to consume (books, movies, TV, blog posts, etc). A rational person should develop a way of scoring information sources, construct a list of sources ordered by score, and then go down the list one by one. Eliezer's blog posts may very well be near the top of the list for the right audience, but it's hard to believe random webcam dialogues he has with other bloggers could be ranked above the great works of literature, philosophy, and history.
