[LINK] Question Templates
I have posted an article Question Templates on my blog. This is the start of a sequence (of sorts), and it's close to the core of Less Wrong's subject matter.

In the future please include at least a one- or two-sentence summary of the linked article. Just saying it's close to the core LW matter leaves me uncertain (AI? math? human biases? choice making? meetups?) and so uncertain if I want to spend time to follow the link and read it.
Action related- Pro Cons lists are always good. "What am I trying to accomplish?". The post "humans are not automatically strategic"
philosophy- "what will an answer to this question look like?" (can it be dissolved?) (The answer to "do we have free will" is not yes or no. It's to dissolve it)
general- "What assumptions am I (or whomever I'm taking to) making?" "how can I do this better?"
I've actually thought that there could be a universal template for many questions. Pro/cons are universal for any action related question. What assumptions you're making is generally applicable to everything. It would be interesting to make this a project and come up with a template for all fields.
This reminds me of Explain/Worship/Ignore. Am I getting the right idea?
Not really. Worship and Ignore aren't question templates; they're things you might do instead of questioning.
Some examples would probably help; I had a bunch, but I split them off into a second article (not yet finished) with the idea that holding off might cause people to generate some.
