From the welcome post:
This seems open to an undesirable interpretation (discussion of how to formulate things that haven't yet been formulated and exercises in working through pre-formal examples, in an attempt to isolate principles that can then be explored more systematically). It might also encourage cargo cult formalization.
I've edited it to the following:
In particular, it now discourages "general advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning", and discourages "non-technical philosophizing" rather than "anything that cannot (yet) be usefully formalized or modeled mathematically". Is this an improvement?
