Yeah, this is definitely more high-risk, high-reward than the others, and the fact that there’s potentially some very substantial spillover effects if successful makes me both excited and nervous about the concept. I’m thinking of Arbital as an example of “trying to solve way too many problems at once”, so I want to manage expectations and just try to make some exercises that inspire people to think about the art of mathematizing certain fuzzy philosophical concepts. (Running title is “Formalization Exercises”, but I’m not sure if there’s a better pithy name that captures it).
In any case, I appreciate the feedback, Mr. Entworth.

Oh no, not you too. It was bad enough with just Bena.
I think we can change your username to have capital letters if you want. ;)
