[FOM] FOM: Harvey's Categorical Imperative?

[Tennant, Neil]

Harvey Friedman has confessed (http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2015-September/019125.html) that he operates under the following maxim:

"I generally don't read technical accounts of anything UNTIL I see a reason
to believe that it is worth the effort up front. And that reason normally is
*do I see a simple short synopsis of what is being accomplished, in
nontechnical standard language, that is easily digestible and
reasonably compelling about an issue of fundamental importance?*"

May I direct Harvey's attention to my earlier posting, now over two years old:
http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2013-August/017546.html
which provided a simple short synopsis of what was being accomplished by Core logic, in
nontechnical standard language, which (IMHO) was easily digestible and
reasonably compelling about an issue of fundamental importance?

May I also inquire whether Harvey wills the maxim he has enunciated to become a universal law of human conduct?
(For the technical terms involved in this inquiry, see any good translation of Kant's Grundlegung der Metaphysik der Sitten.)
