Is the bit about Republican presidents intended to stand in for humanity's CEV's utilty function, or is it just a distracting bit of politics?
sorry my reference to the Republicans distracted you. when I wrote it, I thought it so obvious that Republican's winning is just a humorous placeholder for "whatever outcome one wants to avoid" that it would not be distracting.
Humor is hard when expressing myself in text. I think I will just give up on it altogether.
It was funny at the time. You had to be there.
Fixed? :P
