To have an objective criterion for evaluating ideas in case my intuition is ifluenced by bias. To find out what exactly makes most metaphysics appear unsatisfactory and empty to me. Why are people concerned with formalising epistemology, after all?
By the way, you don’t need to link to the Sequences articles for me, I have read them all.
If I aim to apply the criterion “a theory is worthy only if it has direct logical testable consequences”, I better know what do I mean by “direct consequence”.

What do any of those have to do with where you “draw the line between direct and psychological consequences of beliefs”?
