How good is Eliezer at philosophy? Apparently somewhere around the level it would take to get 2486 karma.

Clearly this means I'm better at philosophy than Eliezer (2009). But to be serious, this reminds me how I need to value the karma scores of articles differently according to when they where made. The effects are pretty big. Completely irrelevant discussion threads now routinely get over 20 votes, while some insightful old writing hovers around 10 or 15.
