After reading this, I don’t feel like I have a better understanding of how much rent you believe we should be able to get from our beliefs. I feel like what you’ve written is a really, really good introduction, with no argument or conclusion to go along with it.
Maybe I’ve fallen prey to the illusion of transparency. The point I’m trying to articulate is just how far it may be possible for a human to take their beliefs towards practicality. I havn’t actually developed this idea very far, I posted it to help me articulate where we should try to explore and get some discussion on that.
You’re right I could have taken it further. I was thinking I should get into how we act almost exclusively through causal models and are quite good at it, and then relate that to the subject, but it would have gotten long. Maybe another post about that?
I’ll reread a few times and see if I can see where improvements should go.
The post is in the discussion section, yes? In that context, not having a clear idea of how much rent the author thinks we should pay seems good. This is definitely a question worth discussing and bringing up. In that context, I’ve voted it up. It also raises interesting issues about algorithmic and processing restrictions on how beliefs pay rent.

hmmm. Thanks for feedback.

If you have any specific ideas, say em.
Well I think you said it yourself:
Maybe do so, and then you can make a post on it. ;-)
Edit: Also, welcome to LW!
