I’m currently trying to explore the range of topics for a third RM comic, with the same goals I had with the first two: attracting furries and libertarians to LessWrong-ish rationalism. Keeping the interest of furries will be fairly easy; but to keep the libertarian audience reading, I’ll want to focus on using the Methods of Rationality on a topic they’d like to read about. I’m in no rush, so I can try thinking about possible topics without pIcking a particular one to defend against the others… But since it’s very possible I could completely miss a good one, I’d like to solicit your suggestions: what would you enjoy reading another RM comic covering?
A few possibilities include what’s worth using as a currency, how property should be initially claimed, whether copyrights or patents should exist (and if so for how long), what to do when incompatible property-claim systems bump up against each other, how to decide whether a given entity should be treated as having rights… That is, having the narrator use such as the springboard to describe LW techniques for thinking about that particular issue (which could then be used by the reader for any number of subjects).
I’d also welcome any other suggestions that haven’t already been covered.
