Why don’t you wait until other users at least get the chance to submit their proposals? Luke said that these were just “some initial ideas, to get the conversation started.”
Didn’t mean to cut off conversation or preempt other comments. Just to get a sense if people had strong preferences that they wanted to express but didn’t feel like making short comments for “I like #1.” The comments that feel most productive make some kind of critique or tweak, so just “Yeah, this sounds fine” can be lost.
I prefer Idea 1. I think “Normative rationality” should be called “Theoretical Rationality” instead. “Normative” just indicates that it’s something you should do, which applies equally well to “Applied Rationality”.
I think the problem with Idea 2 is that Instrumental Rationality and Epistemic Rationality and pretty closely intertwined, on both the Applied and Theoretical sides.
I also think that MIRI and FAI stuff should most of the time be filed under “The Future”.
