I'm not going to have the insight that solves reflective decision theory, either. But there is so much plausibly relevant stuff lying on the ground waiting to be picked up right now it's killing me. I could spend the next year doing just the useful 'hacking away at the edges' research that I happen to see lying on the ground right from where I'm standing now.
You write good book summaries, among other things. Wanna summarize the most useful parts of this book for the rest of us? :)
Thanks!
Is that as math-heavy as it looks like? :) I can summarize those books too, presuming that I understand the math involved, but it's slooow and requires special motivation... (and I still haven't even written up the rest of Kurzban's book)
Yeah, it's math heavy. There are definitely things that would be useful to summarize that would require less motivation to achieve. How 'bout Braitenberg's 'Vehicles'? People loved Yvain's Blue-Minimizing Robot, which is basically a robot version of the original 'Vehicles' article and book.
Ooh, Vehicles seems awesome. I'll see if I get around it. (Might take a while.)
