You’re not wrong. Though (if there’s some way to do what I’m trying to do in decision theory) I’ll need to brush up on all the references anyhow, in the process of writing a paper. So it’s not out of the question that I could play some role.
Oh, hey! I considered the OP, decided I couldn’t commit 20 hours a week to explicating decision theory on top of trying to make something new work, and so didn’t read the comments. Now I’m flattered.
One idea: tracking down orthonormal

and finding out what his rate (-altruist discount :-) is might be a good strategy.
I know orthonormal. My bet is he’s too busy for this but I’d like to be wrong.

Fixed. I meant this.
