Apologies in advance for the emotivist interpretation of morality espoused by this comment.
because I’ve been planning on writing a long exegesis explaining my ideas about decision theory and theology,
Yay!
but you’ve stated that you don’t think it’s generally useful to proselytize about your intuitions before you have solid formally justified results that resulted from your intuitions.
Boo.
I think LessWrong and others’ contempt for theology and other kinds of academic philosophy is unjustified and epistemically poisonous. (Needless to say, I am extremely skeptical of arguments along the lines of “we only have so much time, we can’t check out every crackpot thesis that comes our way”: in my experience such arguments are always, without exception the result of motivated cognition.)
YAAAAAY!
Anyway, my default position is to write up the aforementioned exegesis in Latin; that way only people that already give my opinions a substantial amount of weight will bother to read it, and I won’t be seen as unfairly proselytizing about my own justifiably-ignorable ideas.
