Via @slatestarcodex, why are "Less Wrong" users so heavily consequentialist? 60%, vs just 3.3% deontologist. http://lesswrong.com/lw/lhg/2014_survey_results/ …

For a comparison, the PhilPapers survey of philosophers is 25.8% deontology vs 23.6% consequentialist (the rest being something else).

@jttiehen I'm curious about what academic philosophers think about Less Wrong. Have any written about it? -
@Chris_Said Not that I know of. Also I don't really know any philosophers' offhand views about it. Certainly, most are unaware of it... -
@Chris_Said I only found out about it by reading a paper Nick Bostrom cowrote with Yudkowsky. Googled Yud., found the site.

@slatestarcodex my view on calibration is that it is NOT a general skill, but a task specific one. Most people don't need most calibration -
@slatestarcodex side question : by training calibration do you just mean playing the calibration game?
