Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate the fact that you're at least putting effort into sincerely arguing your points. It's an argument I've enjoyed having. It's just that your points are wrong and your reasons for thinking they're right are stupid.

I can't remember if I posted a link to the Coursera class I'm taking because apparently I decided that my academic load wasn't challenging enough. But anyway, I started it, and I immediately thought "OH SHIT, CAIN WOULD LOVE THIS!"

I know you're way the fuck too busy to check it out this summer, but I thought I'd post the link in case you want to look at it in the future.

There's quite a few on there that may be of interest. I'm probably going to sign up for a couple for the course materials.

This looks quite good too:

Yeah, I think it will be an interesting and useful supplement. Especially with regards to economics, which I wanted to take but ran out of elective credits.

Thanks.  Yeah, neuroeconomics is pretty interesting.  Behavioural economists rely on findings from it quite a bit, and it has some overlap with decision theory and all the kind of stuff the LessWrong people talk about.

That said, I'm also considering the counter-terrorism one at Lieden University.  If I have the time.
