I also invented and tested two games last week, that I think may be good for training certain intuitions relevant to rationality, or act as good testing grounds for decision theories. Sadly, I’ve been unable to explain them in words, and were only able to communicate them by examples and diagrams, so I can’t put them here. Any help on resolving this and/or formalizing them in a way that can be easily plugged into existing math would be welcome.
Don’t really have anything in the way of projects. The LW related ones I had failed. :(
That said, some writing practice I did on a site might be interesting to LWers. Although indication which parts I wrote due to appearing anonymous (and sort-of being so. The method of collaboration and norms of the site are kinda subtle and hard to explain. ) Here are some links that may interest LWers: http://www.epicsplosion.com/epicsploitation/1369 http://www.epicsplosion.com/epicsploitation/1474 http://www.epicsplosion.com/epicsploitation/1272 http://www.epicsplosion.com/epicsploitation/38
