This is an experiment to use polls to tap into the crowd knowledge probably present on LW.
This is your chance to ask your multiple choice question you always wanted to throw in. Get qualified numeric feedback to your comments. Post fun polls.
There are some rules:
- Each poll goes into its own top level comment and may be commented there.
- You must at least vote all polls that were posted earlier than you own. This ensures participation in all polls and also limits the total number of polls. You may of course vote without posting a poll.
- Your poll should include a 'don't know' option (to avoid conflict with 2). I don't know whether we need to add a troll catch option here but we will see.
If you don't know how to make a poll in a comment look at the Poll Markup Help.
This being an experiment I do not announce it to be regular. If it is successful I may. Or you may. In that case I recommend the following to make this potentially more usable:
- Use "Polling Thread" in the title.
- Copy the rules.
- Add the tag "poll".
- Link to this Thread or a previous Thread.
- Create a top-level comment saying 'Discussion of this thread goes here; all other to-level comments should be polls or similar'
- Add a second top-level comment with an initial poll to start participation.
EDIT: Added recommendations from KnaveOfAllTrades.
I'd rather you answer these each on their own rather than trying to derive (if it's even possible) some from the others, so that the results aren't contaminated in that way by the order in which I've asked them.
Probabilities for this are from 0 to 1; 0=zero chance, 1=certain.
P('Qualia of purple' is a coherent and meaningful and non-epiphenomenal concept | 'Qualia of consciousness' is a coherent and meaningful and non-epiphenomenal concept) [pollid:742]
Likelihood of same event, but conditioning on negation:
P('Qualia of purple' is a coherent and meaningful and non-epiphenomenal concept | 'Qualia of consciousness' is an incoherent or non-meaningful or epiphenomenal concept) [pollid:743]
Conversely:
P('Qualia of consciousness' is a coherent and meaningful and non-epiphenomenal concept | 'Qualia of purple' is a coherent and meaningful and non-epiphenomenal concept) [pollid:744]
and conditioning on negation:
P('Qualia of consciousness' is a coherent and meaningful and non-epiphenomenal concept | 'Qualia of purple' is an incoherent or non-meaningful or epiphenomenal concept) [pollid:745]
Cheers!
Taboo coherent and meaningful and non-epiphenomenal.
