Luke, I'm confused by your occasional links to academic papers. There are a lot of papers out there related to topics we discuss. (I once collected and skimmed or read every paper I could find on the Sleep Beauty and Absent-Minded Driver problems, and there were something like 50 at that time.) How are you deciding which papers to link to? (Also, I'm surprised you have the time to look at papers like these, now that you're the Executive Director and no longer a researcher.)
I'm guessing this is one of Luke's ways of bringing some focus to the research of Rationality in the Academic world, and its significance to the LW community.
I hypothesize that he see's a gap there that needs more bridging.
(just my humble estimation)
