This is one of the very few places online that I've seen thoughtful discussion on the implications of quantum mechanics, so I felt research that could impact quantum theory would be relevant.

The discussion of quantum mechanics Eliezer Yudkowsky did was not because quantum mechanics is relevant to the interests of this community, but because the counterintuitive nature of quantum mechanics offered good case studies to use in discussing rationality.
