How important is it that I answer that question, really?
You will signal that you care about the quality of articles on LessWrong. That means that you are a loyal member of our team, and we love you.
I am sad that this got downvoted; it amused me inordinately.
Not least because, well, it's accurate.
So what you're saying is, "signalling?"
Yes, joking is a subset of signalling. ;-)
Hmm. The winner appears to be "Whatevs.", followed by "The question is important but Dave shouldn't answer because we don't care what he personally thinks and nobody loves him."
I'm sorry, Dave ...
I'll somehow recover from the blow.
There is some theoretical sense in which the fact that right now the "nobody loves Dave" answer is tied with "Extremely important" helps.
At the moment, "nobody loves Dave" and "the fate of the cosmic commons is at stake!" are running neck and neck. I suggest leaving it up to Omega.
"nobody loves Dave" has now edged out "the fate of the cosmic commons is at stake!" by one vote. Of course, if I take the weighted average, that still works out to a way higher evaluation of my personal significance than seems at all justifiable. Is it possible people aren't all being entirely sincere in their votes? Nah, that's crazy talk.
If it's any consolation, I only voted for that one because it was funny, not because I thought it was true.
I wuv you :3
