Poll Results (now that it's been a few days since the last entry):

I received 56 votes. (Many thanks!) There was a general wave of support for the "basic" posts; when it comes to the more esoteric stuff, people had strong and divergent opinions that mostly balanced out.

In order of total votes (approval-voting style), with people's first preferences noted:

  • Living with Rationality: 38 votes (14 favorites)
  • Adding Up To Normality: 36 votes (13 favorites)
  • Meta-Uncertainty: 26 votes (6 favorites)
  • Weak Solutions in Metaethics: 22 votes (6 favorites)
  • Decision Theories: 22 votes (N/A favorites)
  • An Error Theory of Qualia: 21 votes (6 favorites)
  • Trustworthiness and Singularity: 18 votes (3 favorites)
  • Born Probabilities: 17 votes (6 favorites)
  • Mutual Funds: 14 votes (1 favorite)

Given the votes, the next thing I do will probably be either Decision Theories Part IV or Adding Up To Normality (which is a few votes back of Living With Rationality, but which I'm more enthused to write). If anyone else feels like writing on the ideas of Living With Rationality or Meta-Uncertainty, looks like there's karma for the taking.
