I think that this debate suffers for lack of formal grounding, and I wouldn’t dream of introducing someone to these concepts via this debate.
While the debate is clearly historically important, I don’t think it belongs in the LessWrong review. I don’t think people significantly changed their minds, I don’t think that the debate was particularly illuminating, and I don’t think it contains the philosophical insight I would expect from a LessWrong review-level essay.
I am surprised that no one gave it a positive vote.
From my review:
I am surprised that no one gave it a positive vote.
I like that I made a post that was unanimously given negative votes in the review. I plan to tell my friends about it.
And I nominated it! :P
And neither of you voted for it!
