I didn’t vote on this post either way. I think it’s making mistakes, but I appreciate the effort being put in to trying to understand reality. I’m quite sympathetic because it reminds me of many mistakes I made in the past, and I think it’s quite valuable to be able to make mistakes in public and have people politely point out where they think you’re confused or misunderstanding things.
As to voting on Less Wrong, the stated norm is to vote up the things you want to see more of, vote down the things you want to see less of. Unfortunately this often devolves into agree/disagree voting, and perhaps separate agree/disagree votes from see/don’t see votes, like we have on comments, would be useful on posts.
