See something I’ve written which you disagree with? I’m experimenting with offering cash prizes of up to US$1000 to anyone who changes my mind about something I consider important. Message me our disagreement and I’ll tell you how much I’ll pay if you change my mind + details :-) (EDIT: I’m not logging into Less Wrong very often now, it might take me a while to see your message—I’m still interested though)
