Philosophical “fads”? A poll

This poll lists some currently "hot" topics/areas/methods in philosophy; some of these may be of lasting importance to the field.  But I've also heard all of them described pejoratively as "fads," that will (or ought to) fade away.  What do readers think?  Rank order them from the "most" to the "least" faddish (the most faddish items ought to fade away, lack real philosophical merit in your judgment etc.).  Have fun!
