  Re­lat­edly, is there any work be­ing done to come up with dis­tance mea­sures for agent states (in­clud­ing any of mo­men­tary ex­pe­riences, life-sums, or val­ues)? We talk a lot about marginal and ab­solute value of lives and make com­par­i­sons of ex­pe­riences (motes vs tor­ture) - what, if any­thing, has been done to start quan­tify­ing?

  It turns out that mea­sur­ing the dis­tance be­tween pos­si­ble wor­lds is...com­pli­cated.

  What about when the poor men come barg­ing through the rich man’s gate? I take it that too is fac­tored into the di­v­ine plan?

  I don’t think peo­ple should use this site to pro­mote their per­sonal blogs. Sure, you can add a link to your blog at the bot­tom of your post, but this teaser ex­cerpt BS is re­ally ir­ri­tat­ing. I don’t click through just out of prin­ci­ple.

  If you have some­thing to say, post the whole thing here. If I like what you have to say, I might check out your other stuff, but I’m not go­ing to be forced into it.
