I guess, this is what comes out of writing in a hurry. The way it came out, I am an arrogant ass, who only reads what others have to say to see if it relates to something he, himself wants to say. I found most articles on both OB and LW to be enlightening and some to be a major revelation. The way I view the world changed in a significant way in the past 6 months and in a large part this was due to reading OB/LW and trying to read up on philosophy, math, physics etc. to better understand what people on OB and LW are saying. The topics I am contemplating writing about are concept of “deserving” in relation to utilitarianism and everyday Prisoner’s Dilemma type situations and how they differentiate from classical definition of PD.
Edited: and I can definitely manage better grammar
See True PD, though you may have other differences in mind. Desert in utilitarianism hasn’t been discussed as far as I remember. And FWIW, great-grandparent did not come off as arrogant to me.

I actually didn’t get this impression at all—no worries =)

I am keen to see a discussion of desert in utilitarianism/consequentialism.
