I can't imagine how anything short enough to be bearable by others could possibly qualify as a summary of my beliefs. There are too many things to have beliefs about. After reading Luke's list, I don't feel that I know what Luke thinks about anything much, other than a tiny set of highly-meta things (which are, yes, interesting and important).

I like the idea of publicly summarizing one's beliefs, but if I were going to do that I'd need something much more comprehensive before I'd feel at all like calling it "my web of beliefs" or "a summary of my beliefs".
