Contents of my Drafts folder:

  • A previous version of my Silver Chair post, with more handwringing about why one might not stop someone from committing suicide.
  • A post about my personal motto ("per rationem, an nequequam", or "through reason, or not at all"), and how Eliezer's infamous Newcomb-Box post did and didn't change my perspective on what rationality means.
  • A listing of my core beliefs related to my own mind, beliefs/desires/etc., with a request for opinions or criticism.
  • A post on why animals in particular and any being not capable of rationality/ethics in general don't get moral consideration. This one isn't posted only because my proof has a hole.
