The Fundamental Question

It has been claimed on this site that the fundamental question of rationality is "What do you believe, and why do you believe it?".

A good question it is, but I claim there is another of equal importance. I ask you, Less Wrong...

What are you doing?

And why are you doing it?

Your comments are tending to be a bit too long.

Thanks for the feedback. I kinda suspected that my comments were too long.

So, um... what would you prefer for me to do instead?

split them into multiple comments?
post them somewhere else (the Transhumanist Wiki?) and link to them from here?
refrain from posting the long comments entirely?
find some way to cut them down?
stick to a single topic per comment, and create multiple comments if I want to discuss multiple topics?
wait longer between posting these comments?
something else I haven't thought of?
