Read his entire comment history. (FWIW Vladimir_M is I think my second favorite LW commenter.)

I endorse this recommendation, but I can't help but wonder who is your favourite? (^_^)

Rayhawk, largely because he talks about more important things than does Vladimir_M. I sorta wish Vladimir_M would do more speculative reasoning outside the spheres of game theory, social psychology, economics, politics, and so on—I would trust him to be less biased than most when considering strange ideas, e.g. the Singularity Institute's mission.

You can get a good idea of which ideas Vladimir_M considers important, by looking at where he chooses to spend his time.

I'm not sure that is a good heuristic, spending a lot of time in somewhere might mean he considers the ideas or at least debating them fun, which is not quite the same as important. If someone was studying my online habits they'd be better off assuming I optimize for fun rather than impact. (^_^')

My mental model of Vladimir_M has this not being the case.
