QoTD

Yudkowsky:
I am [...] just another pot-decriminalizing, prostitution-supporting, computer-programming, science-fiction-reading, Bayesian-statistics-promoting, mainstream-economics-respecting, sex-positive, money-positive, polyamorous atheistic transhumanist government-distrusting minarchist.
 I am personally so far gone that I consider this a normal base-point, from which interesting positions start. 

FWIW, the article is interesting too...but the quote is great.

Yudkowsky on Bloggingheads is sometimes good. I liked him with Razib Khan and Adam Frank especially... though only enough to listen to the mp3s. I can't see the point in watching Bloggingheads.tv.

The search function works well.
