If you have worked your way through most of the sequences you are likely to agree with the majority of these statements

I realize this is not the main point of the post, but this statement made me curious: what fraction of Less Wrong readers become convinced of these less mainstream beliefs?

To this end I made a Google survey! If you have some spare time, please fill it out. (Obviously, we should overlook the deliberately provocative phrasing when answering).

I'll come back two weeks from now and post a new comment with the results.

I think this survey is a really good illustration of why degrees of belief are so helpful.
