I've set up a pairwise poll for this question and additional suggestions are welcome. My original proposal was to examine topics that haven't already been covered here, but instead of that, I'd like to ask people to consider the existing level of discussion on a topic in evaluating what would be "best."
ETA: There are currently over 500 pairs. You don't have to go through all of them -- answer as many or as few as you like.
I was referencing the standard way to talk about identifying utility functions. If you did that you could try to approximate a LW utility function over topics. I was mostly joking and should have made that clearer.
