Open Thread 2008!

[packbat]

Buoyed by the terrific success of last year's, I offer you: another open thread! Post! Question! Answer! Flame! (Not too much flame, though - the extinguisher hasn't been recharged in a while.) Anything doesn't reply to regular posts can go here.

Actually, though, the recent public conversation on Overcoming Bias (http://www.overcomingbias.com/) between Robin Hanson and Eliezer Yudkowsky (it starts on November 18th with this (http://www.overcomingbias.com/2008/11/setting-the-sta.html), but there are a lot of intermediate posts) is one strange sort of flamewar - what with all the commenters are only posting once a day, and the posts are thousand-plus word educated and thoughtful New-York-Times-Magazine-like essays.
