In lieu of actual posting, this is another links post. This time it is to two interesting discussion threads.

Over on Certain Doubts, Ralph Wedgwood started an interesting discussion on an “Epistemic Newcomb Problem”:http://fleetwood.baylor.edu/certain_doubts/?p=641. I remember Kieran Setiya discussing a similar problem here at Cornell, and people’s intuitions about the case were all over the shop.

And at PeaSoup, Kris McDaniel launched a very long discussion on “the relation between preference and desire”:http://peasoup.typepad.com/peasoup/2006/12/desire_bleg.html.
