Had I not known that this was a lukeprog post, I probably would've thought that it was written by Eliezer--this looks a lot like his writing style. Was that intentional?
Either way, excellent post. "Hack away the edges" is definitely a useful heuristic.
This, I greatly appreciate the "trick my mind into thinking its reading Eliezer" tone of luke's writing.
Maybe. But it is actually a criticism of Eliezer, whose approach to solving the FAI problem, as far as I can make it out, does seem to be "getting smart people to sit in silence and think real hard about decision theory and metaethics."
