I undersold this, it actually did generate interesting discussion on Facebook! (You’re welcome, Cambridge Analytica and/all sundry other enemies of democracy.) How should we decide on our projects in #philosophy, and evaluate positions thus formulated?

This definitely has a pragmatist, Peircean feel to it. I know he was interested what amounts to the economics of abduction. This may be part of what you were referring when you mentioned Peircean abduction?
Thank you, I take that as high praise! Indeed Peirce's works on the economics of science and on abduction have very much influenced my thinking here, and elsewhere.
