Splintered Mind: Posts on Cosmology, Skepticism, and Weird Minds Survey

I'll be publishing a book of selected op-eds and blog posts. I'd like to hear readers' opinions about which to include. Below are some of my posts on cosmology, skepticism, and weird minds. Click here to rate my posts on moral psychology, here to rate my posts on technology, here to rate my posts of belief, desire, and self-knowledge, and here to rate my posts on culture and humor. My final two polls, coming soon, will cover posts on consciousness, meta-philosophy, and sociology of philosophy.
