Agree with Eliezer. Your explanatory skill and patience are mostly wasted on the people you've been arguing with so far, though it may have been good practice for you. I would, however, love to see you try to talk Drescher out of trying to pull moral realism out of TDT/UDT, or try to talk Dalyrmple out of his "I'm not partisan enough to prioritize human values over the Darwinian imperative" position, or help Preston Greene persuade mainstream philosophers of "the reliabilist metatheory of rationality" (aka rationality as systematized winning).
