Eliezer, My post was more harsh than I on reflection would have wanted it to be. Let me say some positive things to balance that. I find the productivity of the bloggers here quantitatively and qualitatively really impressive. You post a lot of fresh, inspiring and provoking stuff. I like your engaged way of writing.
Still, I look to this blog for posts on bias, not philosophy in general. So I want to stick to my intended main (and only constructive) point: please implement some more limited RSS feeds. Specifically, a feed that includes all and only posts on bias aimed at academic folks. Or perhaps, to make it even more narrow, only such posts that you the team of bloggers judge to be of extra high quality.
If the blog is targetted at several types of readers then it makes sense to offer a special RSS feed for each target type. Very likely, most academics reading your current RSS feed have a large number of other feeds that they also try to keep up with so helping such readers with the filtering would be great.
What is the easiest way to get a RSS with ONLY the overcomingbias posts that more narrowly discuss BIAS in a way that is engaged with the literature, thereby filtering out the many posts that do NOT and that instead do try to reinvent philosophical wheels without caring about the preexisting relevant literature or terminology? Seriously. I like the gems but I can't justify the time it takes me to see to wade through all the other posts in the RSS to get to the gems. You guy's should do like other high volume blogs and offer some niche RSS channels, like a "best bias posts of the week" one.
