All of a sudden it feels more arbitrary to be postulating a Something that is Real. And real metaphysicists know that things shouldn't feel arbitrary.

Now you're just ripping off the last chapter of Drescher's Good and Real. You know he comments here sometimes - he'd be so hurt at such plagiarism. :)

I am? I only read the decision theory chapters of Good and Real, the day before he showed up at SIAI house for the decision theory workshop. I'll definitely read the last chapter when I get back to California.
