on: Partial preferences and models
Re: Reinventing the wheel

I don’t know of any slam dunk search term, but I suspect that the discussion you want to have surrounding partial preferences will contain mainly similarities to the work done on ceteris paribus laws. Particularly, if we aggregate the partial preferences of all moral agents, we will produce something like a moral ceteris paribus law, where we are holding the set Z of background variables “unchanged” (i.e. within a “reasonable” range of values). You might find the discussion around the justification of CP laws useful.

Additionally, I believe there must be some relevant work on the application to morality of modal logic and possible world semantics. I don’t have something to point to here, but it might be a worthwhile direction.

Yes, many humans exhibit the former betting behavior but not the latter. Rabin argues that an Eu maximizer doing the former will do the latter. Hence, we need to think of humans as something than Eu maximizers.

Could someone provide some color on what “insanity” refers to here? Are we talking about O(people becoming unproductive crackpots), or O(people developing psychosis)?

Consider bringing bathing suits (and towels) because we have a pool.

Note that I’ve added a discussion topic for this meeting, as LAR folks last week mentioned wanting to talk about the recent “Deep Atheism” piece on LessWrong. Please read this.
