I've made 4 (and counting) screencasts. These are videos in which I write Fallible Ideas emails and explain some of my thoughts. Now you can see what writing philosophy emails looks like.

Compare my process to what you've been doing (if anything), ask questions, etc. Learn something or, if you think that won't work, make a suggestion.

I commented on Writing Fallible Ideas Emails, 14. I thought I'd post it here too.

Thinking about this part:
> many times you reply, but leave me wondering where you stand on the issues at stake.
I think I've made the mistake of not being clear when I change my mind before. This makes discussion harder to follow and leaves out important context.
In ongoing discussion I think someone should clearly mention when they change their mind on an issue (just agreeing with a different idea isn't enough). Otherwise it's ambiguous whether they agreed/changed their mind or they're being incoherent when they contradict their earlier comments.
I don't know if Richard was making a similar mistake here, it seems possible.
