Excellent. I was beginning to despair that we wouldn't have a submission at all.

Can you add some links to further reading on LW to it? E.g. all the articles cited in the OP?

Over the past few days I've been low on energy and can't seem to reach the level of concentration needed to write a good article of the desired length in the near term....I may make a solid attempt sometime over the next few months but not by Wednesday.

I'm pretty happy with the submission from throwawayaccount1. I suspect that it's possible to better optimize for the intended audience but can't think of an easy way to do this.

next few MONTHS?!?!!??!?!

Can somebody please pay multifoliaterose another $x if he actually writes something?!

Okay, okay, I'll give it a go, no money required; I just need to reach a sufficiently high level of energy. I overextended myself between August and November and am in the process of recovering; that's why I deferred. But I can probably write something sooner, will try to get something done over the next few days. :-)

Can somebody who lives close to multifoliaterose (east coast I believe?) Please go to his house and give him some energy?

I believe a well booted foot travelling at 3 m/s would deliver about 10-20 Joules of energy. It might be applied to his behind for maximum impact. ;-)
